St Mary Magdalene, Mortehoe in Devon

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Currently there is no ringing taking place across UK towers, a situation not encountered since the Second World War. This recording comes from St Mary Magdalene, Mortehoe in Devon. The Tower contains six bells with a tenor of nine hundredweight tuned to B flat. They were cast and hung by John Taylor of Loughborough in 1926. And there’s a slightly unusual aspect to this recording as the conductor's voice can be heard calling the Devon Style Call Changes, the bells being recorded in the ground floor ringing chamber.
