St James’ Church in Sutton, Cheshire

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from St James’ Church in Sutton, Cheshire. In 1879, following the installation of the clock in the tower, a ring of six bells was installed in a wooden frame. Sadly, there were serious problems with the frame and in 1926 a new peal of six bells was cast and installed in a cast-iron frame by John Taylor of Loughborough. The Tenor bell weighs eleven and three-quarters hundredweight and is tuned to the note of G. We hear them on the centenary of their installation ringing Cambridge Surprise Minor.
