Bells on SundayAvailable for over a year
Bells on Sunday comes from the church of Saints Mary Magdalene and Denys in Midhurst West Sussex. Midhurst was an important market in the Middle Ages. The church, originally a chapel linked to Easebourne Priory, became the parish church upon the dissolution of the monasteries. There are six bells, the oldest four of which all date from 1765 and were cast by the Lester and Pack foundry of Whitechapel. The Tenor weighs ten and a half hundredweight and is tuned to the note of G. We hear them ringing Primrose Surprise Minor.
