Bells on Sunday comes from the parish church of St Mary the Virgin Bishops Cannings in Wiltshire. The church building dates to the 13th century, with many early English features surviving. It was altered in the 14th and 15th centuries and restored in the 19th. There are eight bells, four of which were cast 1602 by John Wallis of Salisbury. The 19th century Tenor bell weighs fifteen and one quarter hundredweight and tuned to the key of E flat. We hear them ringing Grandsire Triples.
