The church of Saints Peter and Paul in Hawkley, Hampshire

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the church of Saints Peter and Paul in Hawkley, Hampshire. The church has an unusual “Rhenish Helm†on its tower and a ring of eight bells from six different bell foundries including two bells dating from the mid-15th century. In 2023 after a three year silence the bells were restored and re-hung by Matthew Higby and Company of Somerset in time to ring for the Coronation of King Charles the Third. The Tenor weighs eight hundredweight and is tuned to the note of A. We hear them ringing Superlative Surprise Major.
