Bells on Sunday, comes from St George’s church in Didbrook, Gloucestershire.  By 1706 the church had a ring of just four bells all cast by William Bagley of Northamptonshire. In 1911 these bells were recast and augmented to a ring of six by the John Taylor of Loughborough foundry.  The Tenor weighs six hundredweight and is tuned to the note of B.  We hear them ringing Grandsire Doubles.
