St Vedast, Foster Lane in London
Bells on Sunday comes from St Vedast, Foster Lane in London.
Bells on Sunday comes from St Vedast, Foster Lane in London. The tower, which was rebuilt in 1697 by Sir Christopher Wren after the Great Fire, is one of the most graceful in London. In 1941 the church was gutted by fire following an air raid and its six bells dating from the 17th and 18th centuries were destroyed. In 1960 a new ring of six was cast by the Whitechapel of London foundry with a tenor weighing 16 and a half hundredweight and in the note of F. The bells are heard here ringing Cambridge Surprise Minor.

Though silenced for now, the great bell 'Emmanuel' will lead the majestic chorus again...
