Bells on Sunday comes from the village church of St John the Baptist, Chilcompton in Somerset. The earliest church on the site was recorded in 1188 when it was presented to nearby Wells Cathedral. The current building dates back to the 1460s, but was largely rebuilt during the 19th century, leaving only the tower from the original building. To celebrate the Millennium a new ring of ten bells was installed by John Taylor of Loughborough. In 2008 they were augmented to twelve bells with a tenor bell weighing nineteen and a quarter hundredweight in the note of E flat. We hear them ringing Cambridge Surprise Maximus.
