St Sepulchre without Newgate in Holborn, London

Bells on Sunday comes from St Sepulchre without Newgate in Holborn, London

This week's Bells on Sunday comes from St Sepulchre without Newgate in Holborn, London. Built on the site of a pre-Norman church it was rededicated to St Edmund and the Holy Sepulchre during the Crusades. Completely rebuilt in the 15th century it was rebuilt again after being gutted by the Great Fire of London. The church today is the largest parish church in the City of London. There are twelve bells from various London foundries spanning the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. The Tenor weighs twenty eight and a half hundredweight and is tuned to the note of C sharp. We hear them ringing Stedman Cinques
