St Mary the Virgin in Nottingham

Bells on Sunday comes from the church of St Mary the Virgin in Nottingham. The oldest parish church in Nottingham, St Mary’s is in the heart of the historic Lace Market district, which was once the centre of the world’s lace industry. There have been bells in the tower since at least the 14th century. By 1761 there were ten which were mostly replaced in 1935 and more recently augmented to a ring of twelve in 1980. The Tenor weighs thirty five and a half hundredweight and is tuned to the note of C. We now hear them ringing Stedman Cinques.
