Bells on Sunday comes from St Mary-Le-Bow on Cheapside in the City of London. This weekend marks the 100th anniversary of the first broadcast of the sound of the Bow Bells by the 麻豆社. A recording of those bells was used by the 麻豆社鈥檚 World Service broadcast during the Second World War as a symbol of hope to the people of Europe. The current bells were cast by Mears and Stainbank of Whitechapel in 1956 replacing a set lost in the War. The Tenor bell weighs forty one and three-quarter hundredweight and is tuned to the note of C. We hear them ringing Stedman Cinques.
