Bells on Sunday

​We are delighted to be featured on today's episode of Radio 4's Bells on Sunday.

Here is the text which accompanies the recording:
​
Bells on Sunday comes from the church of Saint Milburga in Stoke St Milborough, Shropshire. The village and church take their name from Saint Milburga, the early eight century Abbess of Wenlock Priory, whose feast day is the 23rd February. The church has thirteen bells in total including a recent ring of eight bells cast by the Allanconi foundry in Italy, which were tuned and installed by Matthew Higby and Company in 2020. The tenor bell weighs just over twelve hundredweight and is tuned to the note of G. We hear them ringing “Stoke St Milborough Surprise Major”.
