Oldest "Ring of Bells" In The World

A nice story this ..... 'Wolsey's bells', a set of church bells that would have been chiming when Cardinal Wolsey was a boy can be heard again.

The oldest of these bells were cast in the 1440s but have not been heard in 25 yrs, but a restoration has allowed them to be hung again, and now they are pealing over Ipswich once more.

This restoration is expected to draw bell ringers from across the globe, attracted by the chance to pull the oldest 'Ring of Bells' in the world. You can hear them on the link, and imagine yourself a ten year old boy called Thomas in 1481 AD.
