Manchester Cathedral

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from Manchester Cathedral. This grade one listed building was – during World War two - the most damaged English Cathedral after Coventry. The interior retains a magnificent set of choir stalls complete with misericords dating back to the early Sixteenth Century. The tower contains a peal of ten bells cast by the Croydon Foundry of Gillett and Johnson. The tenor, cast in 1925, weighs twenty seven and three quarter hundredweight and is tuned to F. We hear them ringing Bristol Surprise Royal.
