Bells on Sunday comes from the parish church of St Peters in Alton, Staffordshire
This week's Bells on Sunday comes from the parish church of St Peters in Alton, Staffordshire. The original church was erected in the 12th century with a west tower built in the 13th century. The building was restored and enlarged in the 19th century. Previously there was a ring of eight bells however these were re-hung and augmented in 2023 by the John Taylor foundry in Loughborough to create a ring of ten bells. The Tenor weighs twenty two and a half hundredweight and is tuned to E flat. We hear part of the first peal on the augmented bells as they ring 鈥淕randsire Caters鈥
