The Minster Church of All Saints, Rotherham in South Yorkshire.

The sound of church bells ringing on Sunday from around the country

Bells on Sunday comes from the Minster Church of All Saints, Rotherham in South Yorkshire. The Minster is a prominent example of Perpendicular Gothic architecture featuring a central tower and spire rising to a height of 180 feet. The ringing of bells from the tower can be traced back to 1501 and by the 18th century it is known there was a ring of six bells. Today there are tweleve bells, all cast by the John Taylor foundry of Loughborough. The Tenor weighs thirty four and a quarter hundredweight and is tuned to the note of D-flat. We hear them now ringing Stedman Cinques.
