Yorkshire church bells dominated the airwaves a year ago. You can still listen to some of it on iPlayer.
Sunday 6 July 2014. York Minster bells rang a quarter peal as the Tour de France peloton rode past. The Minster bells also featured on BBC Radio 4 Bells on Sunday that weekend.

Have a listen. In fact why not have a go at bellringing. Wherever you live, you know where we are. It’s that great big tower over there…
