Bells on Sunday comes from St Mary-Le-Bow on Cheapside in London. The sound of Bow bells is famously associated with Dick Whittington and in the medieval nursery rhyme 鈥淥ranges and Lemons鈥. To be born within the sound of Bow bells is the sign of a true Cockney. Today the tower houses a ring of twelve bells cast in 1956 by the Mears and Stainbank Foundry of Whitechapel. The tenor weighs forty one and three quarter hundredweight and is tuned to the note of C. We hear them ringing Stedman Cinques.
