Bells on Sunday comes from the parish church of St Lawrence, Alton in Hampshire. The earliest reference to bells is in the churchwarden accounts of 1625 mention that the church possesses a peal of bells, and these were rung when King Charles 1 visited Alton. In 1926 the Tenor bell was found to be seriously cracked and others badly chipped. The bells were recast by Gillett and Johnston of Croydon and hung in a new steel frame. The tenor weighs eighteen and a quarter hundredweight and is tuned to E. We hear them ringing Bristol Surprise Major.
