The Minster Church of St Peter and St Paul, Howden

Bells on Sunday, comes from the Minster Church of St Peter and St Paul Howden in the East Riding of Yorkshire

Bells on Sunday, comes from the Minster Church of St Peter and St Paul Howden in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The 135-foot-high central tower was completed around 1400, but a fire in 1929 resulted in the complete loss of the old ring of eight bells. In 1931 a new peal of eight was cast at the John Taylor foundry in Loughborough with a Tenor weighing twenty-two and a quarter hundredweight and tuned to E flat. We hear them ringing ‘Stedman Triples’.
