All Hallows Church in Twickenham, Greater London.

Bells on Sunday comes from All Hallows Church in Twickenham, Greater London.

Bells on Sunday, comes from All Hallows Church in Twickenham, Greater London. The bells originate from the church of St Dionis, Lime Street in the City of London. Demolished in 1879 the ten bells were transferred to a nearby church in Lombard Street. However, in 1938 that church was demolished and the bells were relocated again to the new All Hallows church in Twickenham along with the entire tower structure. Today there are ten bells, six of which survive from the original 18th century ring of St Dionis. The Tenor weighs eighteen and a half hundredweight and is tuned to the note of E. We hear them now ringing Grandsire Caters.
