Worcester Cathedral

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from Worcester Cathedral. The Cathedral was founded in 680, the earliest surviving fabric dates from 1084. Much of the church is medieval with the large central tower completed in 1374. The Cathedral’s ring of twelve bells were cast at Taylor's of Loughborough in 1928 as a Great War memorial. There are also four semi-tone bells. We hear them ringing Stedman Caters on the harmonic minor ten which includes two of the semi-bells and a tenor bell weighing nearly thirty five hundredweight in the note of C sharp. The bells are being rung half-muffled to mark Remembrance Sunday
