=== Bells === The bells were rehung and augmented in 1978 to give a ring of twelve. The two oldest bells date from before 1420, so they are older than the present tower. The bells are rung 'full circle' by the cathedral's band of ringers for the weekly practice session. In addition, there is Great Peter, the largest medieval bell in Britain, weighing a fraction under three tons. Great Peter is the hour bell and can also be heard ringing before the main services.<ref>{{cite web |title=Clock, Bells & Chimes |url=https://www.gloucestercathedral.org.uk/history-heritage/clocks-bells-and-chimes/ |publisher=Gloucester Cathedral |access-date=27 October 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191027074456/https://www.gloucestercathedral.org.uk/history-heritage/clocks-bells-and-chimes/ |archive-date=27 October 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref>
