St Peter’s church in Evercreech, Somerset.

Bells on Sunday comes from St Peter’s church in Evercreech, Somerset.

Bells on Sunday comes from St Peter’s church in Evercreech, Somerset. The church building dates from the 14th and 15th century and is a fine example of the Perpendicular style. Its 94 foot tall tower was said by the famous architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner to be the finest in the county. There are ten bells, all of which were cast by the John Taylor foundry of Loughborough in 1948. The Tenor bell weighs twenty one hundredweight and is tuned to the note of E flat. We hear them ringing Grandsire Caters.
