Bells on Sunday comes from Saint Barnabas, Queen Camel in Somerset
Bells on Sunday comes from Saint Barnabas, Queen Camel in Somerset. The church was built in the 14th century and is home to the heaviest peal of six bells of any church with a combined weight of six tonnes with the tenor alone weighing 1.8 tonnes or thirty six and three quarter hundredweight. The peal includes three 20th century bells from the John Taylor Foundry of Loughborough and three ancient bells with the second bell cast in Bristol circa 1500 and the fourth and tenor bells cast in the early 17th century by Richard Purdue. We hear them ringing Grandsire Doubles.
