St Paul’s Cathedral in London

Bells on Sunday comes from St Paul’s Cathedral in London

Bells on Sunday comes from St Paul’s Cathedral in London. The iconic cathedral and its bells famously survived the bombing during the second World War, when so many towers and their bells across the whole of Europe were destroyed or damaged by war. The present ring of twelve, cast in 1878 is one of the heaviest in the country, with the tenor weighing sixty two hundredweight. We hear them ringing Stedman Cinques.
