The church of St Mary's Patshull in Staffordshire

Bells on Sunday comes from the church of St Mary's Patshull in Staffordshire

Bells on Sunday comes from St Mary鈥檚 church in Patshull, Staffordshire. The church was constructed around 1743 replacing an earlier medieval church. In 1874 a domed bell tower was added housing a ring of six bells cast by the Mears and Stainbank foundry of London and hung in a two-tier wooden frame. The tenor weighs ten hundredweight and is tuned to the note of A-flat. We hear them ringing Grandsire Doubles.
