Bells on Sunday comes from Westminster Abbey where the coronation of His Majesty King Charles the third took place, the 40th reigning monarch to be crowned at Westminster since William the Conqueror in 1066. The first recorded information concerning Abbey bells was an instruction in 1250 to an Edward of Westminster to make for the Abbey a bigger bell than any of those he had made previously. Today the Abbey has ten bells cast in 1971 by the Whitechapel Foundry with a tenor bell weighing thirty and a quarter hundredweight tuned to D. We hear the bells ringing Stedman Caters.
