Bells on Sunday comes this Easter from Canterbury Cathedra

Bells on Sunday comes this Easter from Canterbury Cathedral. Over the course of some six hundred years the two west towers have each had a varying number of ringing and chiming bells cast by various founders. There was a major recasting of the ringing bells in 1981 but we will hear the pre 1981 ring of twelve with a thirty two hundredweight tenor in the note of C, ringing Grandsire Cinques.
