St Peter’s Church in Petersfield, Hampshire

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from St Peter’s Church in Petersfield, Hampshire. It's believed that the first church on this site, a chapel of ease for the local Manor, was built in the 11th century before the establishment of the town. The church tower was raised to its present height during the 14th century and holds a ring of eight bells by various founders. The Tenor bell was cast by the Pack and Chapman foundry of Whitechapel, London in 1770. It weighs fifteen and a half hundredweight and is tuned to the note of F. We hear them ringing Stedman Triples.
