Chester Cathedral in Cheshire.

Bells on Sunday comes from Chester Cathedral in Cheshire.

Bells on Sunday comes from Chester Cathedral in Cheshire. Upon this site there was once an 11th century Benedictine Abbey with six bells before becoming a cathedral in 1541, following the dissolution of the monasteries. Today the cathedral has a ring of twelve bells housed in a separate purpose built tower sitting within the cathedral precincts. The bells were cast by John Taylor of Loughborough in 1973 with a tenor in the note of D and weighing twenty four and three quarter hundredweight. We hear the bells ringing Stedman Cinques.
