Bells on Sunday comes from the Cathedral Church of St Martin鈥檚 in Leicester.
Bells on Sunday comes from the Cathedral Church of St Martin鈥檚 in Leicester. Previously a Norman parish church, St Martin鈥檚 was much restored by the Victorians in the Gothic Style. It was raised to Cathedral status in 1927 and in 2015 the remains of King Richard the third were reburied here. In 1937, John Taylor and Son of Loughborough replaced the old 18th century ring of ten bells with a ring of twelve. The tenor bell weighs twenty five hundredweight and is in the note of D. We hear the bells ringing Cambridge Surprise Maximus.
