Bells on Sunday comes from the church of St. Eadburgha in Ebrington, Gloucestershire.  The tower contains a ring of six bells five of which were cast in the 17th and 18th century by the Bagley family foundry which was renown for casting bells with many decorations.  The tenor bell, cast in 1678 by Henry Bagley, weighs twe;ve and a half hundredweight and is tuned to F sharp.  We hear them ringing the rarely heard, 'Grandsire Minor'.
