The Oldest Circle of Church Bells in Christendom

This news item on the BBC surprised me. Partly because a complete set of bells had survived from the fifteenth century, but also because they were in Ipswich.  Locally, they are called Wolsey’s Bells, as the famous Cardinal would have heard them in his childhood in the town.

They are in the church of St. Lawrence, which has been restored as a community restaurant and gallery.
