St Bartholomew's, London

Church bells from St Bartholomew's, London.

This week's Bells on Sunday comes from St. Bartholomew the Great, Smithfield in London. The tower has a ring of five bells, with the tenor weighing 51/2 hundredweight. The church was originally founded in 1123 as an Augustinian Priory, and is fortunate to have five bells cast by Thomas Bullisdon around 1510, the only complete pre-reformation ring of more than four bells by one founder. We hear them ringing now, 'Grandsire Doubles'.
