Bells on Sunday comes from The Cathedral Church of St Andrew, Wells, in Somerset. The South West tower contains a peal of ten bells from three different founders, Mears & Stainbank, Abel Rudhall and John Taylor. They are the heaviest ringing peal of ten in the world. The tenor bell weighs just over fifty six and a quarter hundredweight and is tuned to the note of C. It is the fifth heaviest ringing bell in the world. We hear them ringing Stedman Caters.
