The Church of St Mary Magdalene, Richmond in Greater London
Bells on SundayAvailable for over a year
Bells on Sunday comes from the Church of St Mary Magdalene, Richmond in Greater London. The earliest reference to the church is in 1100 from the records of nearby Merton Abbey. The church was rebuilt in the 15th century and the tower is the only remaining part of that Tudor church. There are eight bells dating from the late 17th and mid-18th centuries. The tenor bell weighs eighteen and half hundredweight and is tuned to the note of F. We now hear them ringing Plain Bob Major.
