Bells to Chime: St Mary's Cathedral
UPDATE: National Trust have advised that the talk by renowned campanologist Dr Woolford entitled 'Touch of Bells' (set for tonight, July 11) and a talk that was to be given by Paul Walsh on 'Sacred Architecture' (that was set for July 14) have both been postponed.

CORRECTION: The 'Pope Benedict XVI Surprise Major'  will not at 6pm as earlier reported but will ring from St Mary's Cathedral at 6.30pm. (This has since been modified). St Mary's Basilica Society of Change Ringers will still ring the 1280 'changes' of the bells consecutively from 730 to close to an hour.

 

A special bell-ringing sequence to honour Pope Benedict's journey to Australia will be played by 8 bell-ringers on 14 bells of St Mary's Cathedral, on Friday, July 11, at 6.30pm. You'll be able to hear it clearly from Hyde Park or the Piazza.
