St Augustine, West Monkton, Somerset

Church bells from St Augustine, West Monkton, Somerset.

Bells on Sunday comes from St. Augustine, West Monkton in Somerset. The seventeen and three quarter hundredweight tenor, tuned to D, was cast by the Loughborough Foundry in 1881. In 1986 the six original bells were re-hung in a steel frame and two more bells were added to form the present ring of eight. We hear them ringing a quarter peal of 'Grandsire Triples'.
