Bells on Sunday comes from The Cathedral Church of St Andrew, Wells, in Somerset. The South West tower contains a peal of ten bells from three different founders, Mears & Stainbank, Abel Rudhall and the ninth and tenor bells by John Taylor cast in 1877. With the tenor weighing just over fifty six hundredweight, they are the heaviest ringing peal of ten in the world. We hear them ringing Stedman Caters.
