THE SOUND OF TUNSTALL BELLS

Various recordings have been made of the bells over the years. Here is a selection of recordings so far made:

THE BELLS IN 1995
These are the bells, cast in 1843 and 1923, retuned in 1975 - all by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry. This recording is from the last peal on the bells (Plain Bob Major by the local band). (151kB, 7.02s)

THE CLOCK CHIME IN 1995
The full hour chime on the bells prior to recasting in 1995. (325kB, 15.07s)

Other recordings hopefully to be available soon:

THE BELLS IN 1070
Rumour has it that there is a recording of the bells prior to their retuning in 1975. Once I track it down, you will be able to hear it here.
