3364: Birds and bells - a podcast by Cities and Memory

Normandy lockdown sound reimagined by Marg Laing.

"What could be more uplifting, defiant and hopeful than birds and bells? The chime of church bells will outlive all times of trial and despair. And from France to my windows where clanging and cheering had a similar cadence each Thursday. It is humbling to be an ear witness of such persistence."
