Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the Breslin Tower at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, America. There are some 7000 towers with English style full circle rings around the world and only forty eight in the United States. In 2004 a ring of eight bells cast at Whitechapel foundry in London was installed in the University’s Breslin Tower. The tower was built in 1886 and is modelled after the tower of Magdalen College Chapel in Oxford. The tenor bell weighs eleven and a quarter hundredweight and tuned to the note of G. We hear them ringing Yorkshire Surprise Major by members of the North American Guild of Change Ringers.
