St Gregory Morville in Shropshire.

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from St Gregory Morville in Shropshire. The church was originally built in 1118 by monks from the nearby Benedictine Abbey in Shrewsbury and subsequently formally attached to Morville Priory until that was demolished in 1545. The predominately Norman Tower holds eight bells including four mid-18th century bells by Abel Rudhall of Gloucester. The tenor weighs eight hundredweight and is tuned to the note of F sharp. We now hear them ringing Nailstone Surprise Major.
