The church of St Peter’s, Congelton

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the church of St Peter’s, Congelton which has had a ring of bells since at least 1635. Various bells were recast and added to the ring, firstly by Rudhalls of Gloucester in 1720 and then by Thomas Mears and Son of London in 1806. The current ring of eight, tenor weight thirteen and a quarter hundredweight in the note of F were rehung by Taylors of Loughborough in 1911. We hear an excerpt from a Peal of Carmela Delight Major that was rung by a band of family and friends in fond memory of Michael Orme, a long time ringer at this tower.
