Canterbury Cathedral in Kent

Bells on Sunday comes from Canterbury Cathedral in Kent

Currently there is no ringing taking place across UK towers, a situation not encountered since the Second World War. The recording for this Easter Sunday comes from Canterbury Cathedral in Kent. Over the course of some six hundred years the two west towers have each had a varying number of ringing and chiming bells cast by various founders. There was a major recasting of the ringing bells in 1981 but we will hear the pre 1981 ring of twelve with a thirty two hundredweight tenor in the note of C, ringing Grandsire Cinques.
