Bells on Sunday comes from St Mary’s Church in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. Construction of the church started in 1140 taking forty years to complete. In the 14th century, a fine 130 foot lead spire was added. The tower houses a ring of eight bells cast by five different founders in 16th, 17th and 18th century with a tenor bell weighing nineteen and a quarter hundredweight and to the key of E. In 1951, all the bells were rehung and retuned by Gilllet and Johnston of London. We hear them ringing Stedman Triples.
