Bells on Sunday comes from the Cathedral Church of Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Andrew, Rochester in Kent. The first bells were probably in the original Saxon cathedral originally founded by St. Augustine in 604. A.D. After various alterations over the years, the tower was rebuilt for the 1300th anniversary in 1904 to include eight bells. In 1921 these bells were recast and augmented to a ring of ten by the Gillett and Johnston foundry of Croydon. The Tenor bell weighs thirty hundredweight and is tuned to D. We now hear them ringing Stedman Caters..
