Bells on Sunday comes from the church of Saints Peter and Paul Lavenham, Suffolk.
Bells on Sunday comes from the church of Saints Peter and Paul Lavenham, Suffolk. The medieval wool town of Lavenham greatly prospered from the wool trade in the 15th and 16th centuries. This trade financed the building of the church, regarded as one of the finest examples of Late Perpendicular Gothic architecture in England. There are eight bells the earliest of which date from 1603. The Tenor weighs twenty one hundredweight and is tuned to the note of D-flat. We hear them ringing Double Norwich Court Bob Major.
