The church of St Michael in Southampton

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the church of St Michael in Southampton. The church was founded in 1070 and is the oldest building still in use in the city. It has ten bells and the back eight bells were cast at the Gillett and Johnston Foundry in Croydon in 1923. The two smallest bells were cast at the John Taylor Foundry in Lougborough in 1947, using metal recovered from the bells of Holy Rood Church which was destroyed in an air raid on November 30th 1940. We hear them ringing Kent Treble Bob Royal.
