Bells on Sunday comes from the former church of All Saints Oxford
Bells on Sunday comes from the former church of All Saints Oxford which is now part of Lincoln College. The original church which was founded in 1122 but in 1700 the spire collapsed destroying most of the building. Rebuilt in 1720 the tower now contains a ring of eight bells with a Tenor weighing seven hundredweight tuned to A flat.
The heaviest four bells, date from 1622 and survived the collapse of the spire. Two trebles were added in 1874 and a further two in 1927 by Mears and Stainbank of Whitechapel London. We now hear them ringing Spliced Surprise Major.
