Bells on Sunday comes from the church of St Mary Magdalene Bildeston in Suffolk. Dating from the 15th and 16th centuries the church is mostly constructed of flint and rubble with stone dressings. In 1975 during renovations the west tower collapsed. Fortunately, the bells had been temporarily removed and were reinstalled in a new wooden tower structure. There are six bells, two of which date from the 15th century. The Tenor bell weighs fourteen hundredweight and is tuned to the note of E. We hear them ringing Cambridge Surprise Minor
