Church bells from St Mary's Church in Grafton Regis, Northamptonshire.

Bells on Sunday comes from St. Mary's Church in Grafton Regis, Northamptonshire. The tower contains five bells rung from the Ground Floor. The oldest bells in the tower, the present second and third, were cast by John Keene of Woodstock in Oxfordshire. By 1948, a new Treble had been added and it's dedicated to all the parishioners who served in the Second World War. The tenor, of nine hundred weight, is tuned to G sharp. We hear them ringing 'Plain Bob Doubles'.
