Bells on Sunday comes from the church of St Giles, Cripplegate in the City of London. St Giles is one of the few medieval churches left in the city of London to have survived the Great Fire of London although it was badly damaged by enemy action in 1940 and lost its ring of twelve bells. In 1954 a new ring of twelve were cast by Mears and Stainbank of Whitechapel with a Tenor weighing thirty four hundredweight and in the note of C sharp. We hear them ringing Stedman Cinques by the ringers of the Ancient Society of College Youths.
