Bells on Sunday comes from St Mary’s Church in Gislingham, in Suffolk. In 1599, the original bell tower collapsed and was replaced by a shorter tower with base walls five feet thick. Four medieval bells survived the collapse and were recast in the 17th century into a ring of five bells with a new treble added in the 19th century. In 2006, they were augmented to a ring of eight by the Whitechapel Foundry of London. The tenor weighs fourteen and a quarter hundredweight and is tuned to the note of E. We hear them ringing Lessness Surprise Major.
