Bells on Sunday comes from the church of St Luke in Hodnet, Shropshire. The 14th century tower is unusual in that it is octagonal for its full height. By 1769 it held six bells all cast by Thomas Rudhall of Gloucester. In 1947 these were augmented to eight bells with two trebles cast by the John Taylor foundry of Loughborough. The tenor bell weighs twelve hundredweight and is tuned to F. We hear them ringing April Day Doubles on the original six heaviest bells.
