Bells on Sunday comes from St Mary’s Church, Nantwich in Cheshire

Bells on Sunday comes from St Mary’s Church, Nantwich in Cheshire. The fine medieval grade one listed church has one of a very few central octagonal bell towers in England. The tower houses a ring of eight bells, with a tenor weighing fourteen and three quarter hundredweight, tuned to the key of E major. We now hear them ringing Grandsire Triples with all the bells fully muffled except the tenor which rings open every other stroke as is the ancient custom to commemorate the death of a Monarch.
