Bells on Sunday comes from the Norman Tower of St Edmundsbury Cathedral, the Cathedral Church for Suffolk.
Bells on Sunday comes from the Norman Tower of St Edmundsbury Cathedral, the Cathedral Church for Suffolk. The detached tower was originally constructed in the early 12th century as the gatehouse to a vast abbey. Following the abbey’s dissolution in 1539, it became the bell tower for the nearby St James Parish Church which subsequently became a cathedral in 1914. Today the Norman Tower houses a fine ring of twelve bells with a tenor weighing twenty seven and a half hundredweight, tuned to C sharp.
