Church bells from St Olave's Hart Street, London.
This week's Bells on Sunday comes from the church of St. Olave, Hart Street, in London. Built in the 15th Century, this small but interesting church escaped the Great Fire and is famous as being the church where Samuel Pepys worshipped and was buried. Its eight bells were destroyed when the church was bombed in 1941, but a new ring of eight was cast in 1953 at Whitechapel out of the metal of the old bells. Since that time, the tower has been the "home" of the University of London Society of Change Ringers. We hear them ringing Stedman Triples.
