Bells on Sunday comes from the church of St Dunstan, Stepney in Greater London. St Dunstan is the patron saint of bell ringers and is said to have had knowledge of metal working and to have experimented with the design and forging of church bells. Stepney has a ring of ten bells, originally cast by Thomas Mears in 1806 with three bells recast by The Whitechapel Foundry in 1952. The tenor weighs twenty eight and three quarter hundredweight and is tuned to D flat. We hear the eight largest bells ringing Grandsire Triples followed by the bells ringing down in peal.
