Bells on Sunday comes from St Nicolas Parish Church, Witham in Essex. The largely 14th century is situated adjacent to the site of an Iron Age Hill Fort on Chipping Hill. The church tower houses a ring of eight bells, the oldest of which are the fifth and sixth, originally cast in 1601. The 18th century tenor bell weighs fifteen and three quarter hundredweight and is tuned to E. In 1976, the bells were re-hung in a new bell frame by the John Taylor of Loughborough bell foundry. We hear them ringing Single Oxford Bob Triples.
