Bells on Sunday comes from St Peter’s Church in Carmarthen, Wales

Bells on Sunday comes from St Peter’s Church in Carmarthen, Wales. Though founded much earlier, the present building dates from at least the 14th century. The landmark west tower contains a ring of eight bells, four of which are the original bells cast by Abraham Rudhall of Gloucester in 1722. The tenor bell weighs fifteen and one quarter hundredweight and is tuned to the note of E. We hear them ringing Stedman Triples performed by a band from the Ancient Society of College Youths.
