Click here to hear the bells (Toronto D Maximus, recording by Michael P A Wilby)
 
 
Amersham's tower is home to a ring of 13 bells, weighing 19-0-6 in the key of E. The bells, augmented to an 8 in 1983 and then a 12 in 1993, became 13 in 1996 with the addition of a sharp second which allows a musically correct whole-octave on the front 8.
 
Notable achievements include, in 2008, the first peal on the bells by an all-local band in 75 years, and winning the branch 6 bell striking competition in 2009.
