St Leonard’s Church, Hythe in Kent

Bells on Sunday comes from St Leonard’s Church, Hythe in Kent

Bells on Sunday comes from St Leonard’s Church, Hythe in Kent. The church has a Gothic bell tower, completed in 1752, after the original collapsed possibly following an earlier earthquake. In 1928, the peal of eight bells was retuned and augmented to ten by the addition of two smaller bells, and the recast tenor now weighing over nineteen hundredweight is on the note of E. We hear them ringing three bobbed leads of Bristol Surprise Major.
