Guildford Cathedral

Bells on Sunday comes from Guildford Cathedral in Surrey.

Bells on Sunday comes from Guildford Cathedral in Surrey. When the diocese of Guildford was created in 1927, the nearby Holy Trinity Church was initially used as the cathedral. In 1936, the building of a new and larger cathedral church overlooking Guildford was commissioned. However, construction took some thirty years to complete. The cathedral鈥檚 bells were cast at the Whitechapel Foundry, originally a ring of ten in 1965 and then augmented to twelve bells in 1976. The tenor weighs thirty hundredweight and is tuned to the note D. We hear them ringing Stedman Cinques.
