St Leonard's church, Shipham in Somerset

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday, comes from St. Leonard's church, Shipham in Somerset. The current building dates from 1843 and sits on the site of a smaller, mediaeval church. It is unusual in having an octagonal castellated bell-tower. There are six bells, four of which were cast by Thomas Bilbie of Chew Stoke in 1733. The Tenor bell weighs six hundredweight and is tuned to the note of B flat. We hear them ringing Plain Bob Doubles.
