Bells on Sunday comes from The Abbey Church, Waltham Abbey, Essex. There has been a church in Waltham since the early 7th century. In 1177, Henry ii re-founded Waltham Church as a Priory and then as an Abbey in penance for the murder of Thomas Beckett. The Abbey was subsequently dissolved during the reformation. The church tower houses a ring of twelve bells cast by John Taylor of Loughborough with a tenor weighing thirty seven and a quarter hundredweight and tuned to the note of C. We hear them ringing Stedman Cinques.
