Bells on Sunday comes from St Margaret鈥檚 Church in Ipswich, Suffolk

Bells on Sunday comes from St Margaret鈥檚 Church in Ipswich, Suffolk. The medieval church was built around 1300 by the neighbouring Augustinian Priory for use by the people of the expanding town when the priory nave proved too small. Today the tower houses a ring of eight bells, five of which date from the mid-17th century and three bells cast in 2017 by the Royal Eijsbouts foundry in Holland. The Tenor weighs 14 hundredweight and is tuned to the note of F. We hear them ringing Dordrecht Surprise Major.
