Bells on Sunday comes from All Saints in Basingstoke. The bells are highly unusual in that the nine bells installed in 1916 were tuned such that a peal of eight bells could be rung either in the Dorian mode during Lent, or in the Major mode at other times. Though not the original intention, by 1946 the somewhat unique practice of ringing all nine together was frequently taking place. The tenor weighs eleven hundredweight and is tuned to the note of F. In 2016 a new Treble bell was added to create a more traditional ring of ten. We hear them ringing Grandsire Caters on the original nine bells.
