The church of Saints Patrick and Andrew in Elveden Suffolk

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the church of Saints Patrick and Andrew in Elveden Suffolk. Originally a medieval church much restored and with major alterations in the early 20th century. In the churchyard is buried Maharajah Duleep Singh the exiled last ruler of the Sikh Empire who lived on the nearby Elveden Estate and died in 1919. The unusual free-standing bell tower houses a ring of eight bells all cast by the Mears and Stainbank foundry of Whitechapel London in 1921. The Tenor weighs seventeen and a half hundredweight and is tuned to the note of E. We now hear them ringing Bristol Surprise Major.
