Bells on Sunday, comes from Christchurch Cathedral in Christchurch, New Zealand. Completed in 1881 the Cathedral originally had ten bells cast by the Taylors of Loughborough England. In 1978 they were replaced with a ring of twelve bells, again cast by Taylors, with a Tenor weighing 24 and three quarters hundredweight tuned to the note of D. In 2011 Christchurch and the Cathedral was extensively damaged by a massive earthquake that toppled the tower, burying the bells in debris. The bells are currently back in the UK for repair whilst the Cathedral Reinstatement Project is in progress. We hear them ringing Spliced Surprise Maximus
