York Minster in North Yorkshire

Bells on Sunday comes from York Minster in North Yorkshire. The Minster’s southwestern tower houses a fine peal of twelve bells. Cast by the John Taylor foundry of Loughborough in 1925 the Tenor bell weighs fifty nine and a quarter hundredweight and is tuned to the note of B-flat. Next Saturday the Minster will host the National Twelve Bell Striking Competition at which the nine best teams from across the country will compete for the Taylor Trophy. We hear them ringing Stedman Cinques which will be the test piece for that competition.
