St Andrew's, Nether Wallop, Hampshire

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the church of St Andrew’s Nether Wallop, in Hampshire. The original Anglo-Saxon church of St Andrew’s was built in the 11th century with subsequent additions of a north aisle and a tower and steeple. In 1704, the tower fell down and was rebuilt without a steeple and now contains a ring of bells by various founders. The oldest bell is the fifth which was cast in 1585 by John Wallis, the youngest is the treble bell which was cast by John Taylor of Loughborough in 1992 when the bells were augmented to a ring of six. The tenor bell weighs fourteen hundredweight and is tuned to the note F. We hear them ringing Spliced Minor in six methods.
