Bells on Sunday, comes from the church of St Michael in Melbourne, Derbyshire. The parish church building originally dates from around 1120. By 1897 the central tower housed a ring of eight bells by the John Taylor foundry. In 1992 these were re-hung and augmented to a ring of 12 bells by the addition of 4 new bells from Holland tuned to match the sound profile of the older bells. The Tenor bell weighs fifteen and a quarter hundredweight and is tuned to F sharp. We hear them ringing Stedman Cinques.
