Bells on Sunday comes from St Mark’s Church in Swindon

Bells on Sunday comes from St Mark’s Church in Swindon. The church was built in the 1840s to serve the workers of the Great Western Railway whose Swindon works were nearby. The tower contains a ring of eight bells, six of which were cast in 1904 by Llewellins and James and a further two in 1927 by Mears and Stainbank of the Whitechapel Foundry. The Tenor weighs eleven and a half hundredweight and is tuned to G. We hear part of a full peal of eight spliced Surprise Major.
