Bells on Sunday comes from St Nicholas church, Durweston in Dorset. The church was largely rebuilt in the mid-19th century but retained its 15th century tower. There are six bells, one surviving from the late 14th century and five that were recast in 1911 by the Gillett and Johnston foundry of Croydon. The Tenor weighs nine and three-quarter hundredweight and is tuned to the note of F sharp. We hear them now ringing Call Changes
