Bells on Sunday comes from the Minster Church of St Peter, Leeds in West Yorkshire. In 1842 on completion of the present building the tower housed a ring of twelve bells cast by Mears and Stainbank of Whitechapel, London. It is reputed these were the first ever bells to travel by rail. These bells were recast by John Taylor of Loughborough in 1932 with a new Tenor weighing forty hundredweight and tuned to the note of C. We hear the bells ringing Pudsey Surprise Maximus.
