St Mary le bow in Cheapside London. If you were born within the sound of these bells then you are a true Cockney.

  • The bells currently in are from 1941 The former ring was destroyed in the war and there was a ring even before those.

  • Thank you SrWilson, and apologies for not reply sooner. I'm still getting used to youtube!

  • kchyly - pleasure, I will try again to tape them for longer next time I hear them ringing. I have no idea if they are new or old bells but I'll aks next time I'm there. (I'm not a church goer but I will enquire next time I'm passing.

    Justinn014 - Glad you enjoyed them! They are lovely aren't they.

  • Irrespective of what Alexi Sayle claimed, can you get a light and bitter in Bermondsey?

  • I am a septic tank who lived in Bermondsey while the green grocer's daughter fell. At that time the bells were not working if I am correct. Sorry I always look for E20, yet came up!

  • It looks like a special day with all those people outside with flags!

  • Thanks for producing this nice audio vt.

    .

    The bells are rung often and on Ash Wednesday, (pancake day), I shall try to visit the Church to hear the bells in person.

    Inspiring.

    Cheers.

  • Thank you for posting these! Oh, its been awhile since anyone has heard these in my family! Such a shame, though. Are those the new bells or the old ones?
