Bells on Sunday comes from St Mary’s church in Patshull, Staffordshire. The church was constructed around 1743 replacing an earlier medieval church. In 1874 a domed bell tower was added housing a ring of six bells cast by the Mears and Stainbank foundry of London and hung in a two-tier wooden frame. The tenor weighs ten hundredweight and is tuned to the note of A-flat. We hear them ringing Grandsire Doubles.
