Bells on Sunday comes from St Mary鈥檚 Church in Hale, Cheshire. The tower houses a ring of eight bells, unique in that the heaviest six bells are made of steel instead of the usual high tin content bronze alloy resulting in a sharp hum. These steel bells were cast by Naylor Vickers and Company of Sheffield in the late 19th century, and are augmented by two bronze treble bells cast by Royal Eijisbouts of Holland in 1987. The tenor weighs eight hundredweight and is tuned to the note of A. We hear members of the Liverpool Universities Society of Change Ringers ringing Ashtead Surprise Major.
