Bells on Sunday comes from St Mary’s Church in Prescot, Merseyside. The circular shape of the churchyard suggests that a church was on the site before the Norman Conquest, and parts of the existing fabric date from the 14th century. There are eight bells originally cast by the Mears foundry of Whitechapel in 1845. However, in 2011 the sixth bell cracked and was replaced with a similarly aged redundant bell. The tenor bell weighs thirteen and a quarter hundredweight and is tuned to the note of E. We hear them ringing Cambridge Surprise Major.
