Bells on Sunday comes from St Andrew鈥檚 church in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire. Much of the present building dates back to the early 14th and 15th centuries. In the early 1700鈥檚 the medieval tower collapsed and was rebuilt with a ring of five bells cast by Thomas Russell of Wootton. In 1912 a new ring of eight bells with a tenor of thirteen hundredweight in F was cast by the Gillett and Johnston foundry. These were augmented in 2016 to a ring of tten with a tenor weighing thirteen and a quarter hundredweight and a bell-ringing training centre established. We hear them ringing Grandsire Caters, rung by a Bedfordshire band, a performance which won a recent inter-county ringing contest.
