Bells on Sunday comes from St Peter ad Vincula, Combe Martin in Devon. Possibly built on the site of a Saxon church, the construction of the present building began in the 13th-century with additions in the 15th-century and later. The 90 feet high tower contains a peal of eight bells cast in 1922 by the Mears and Stainbank foundry of Whitechapel London. The Tenor bell weighs ten hundredweight and is tuned to F sharp. We hear the bells ringing Yorkshire Surprise Major.
