Bells on Sunday comes from the church of St Gregory, Bedale in North Yorkshire. The building dates to the latter part of the 12th century and has a medieval wall painting of a left-handed St George fighting a dragon, and a tower which was built with a portcullis for defence. The tower houses a ring of eight bells. The tenor bell weighs twenty hundredweight and is in the note of E flat. It was cast by Thomas Stafford in the mid-14th century and is believed to have been transferred from Jervaux Abbey upon the dissolution of the monasteries. We hear them ringing Yorkshire Surprise Major.
