Coventry Cathedral

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from Coventry Cathedral. In 1927 the Cathedral had a chime of 12 bells cast by Gillett and Johnson of Croydon. These were not rung full circle due to structural problems with the tower. The original medieval Cathedral was destroyed during an air-raid in 1940, all that remained was a shell full of rubble, and the tower containing the bells. In 1987 the bells were rehung for full circle ringing in the tower by Taylors of Loughborough. We hear themringing Stedman Cinques.
