The Abbey Church, Crowland in Lincolnshire.

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the Abbey Church, Crowland in Lincolnshire. The Abbey has a ring of six bells made by various founders, the earliest of which is the tenor that was cast around 1486 by John Danyell of London. It weighs nine and a half hundredweight and is tuned to G. Crowland’s bells are thought to be the first to have been heard live on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ when they were broadcast on November 1st 1925 from Crowland to the transmitter on the roof of Selfridges store in London, via a telephone line. We hear them ringing Cambridge Surprise Minor.
