The church St Mary Handsworth in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

Bells on Sunday comes from the church St Mary Handsworth in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

Bells on Sunday comes from the church St Mary Handsworth in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. There have been bells at Handsworth since 1428 and for many years there were only three. In 1920 as a memorial to those killed in the First World War, a new peal of eight bells were installed including the metal of two of the old bells with an 16th century bell being retained as a service bell. The tenor weighs twelve hundredweight and is in the note of F-sharp. We hear them ringing Plain Bob Triples by members of the Sheffield Universities Guild of Change Ringers.
