In the heart of London's East End, a team of craftsmen preserves a set of skills dating back to the 1500s, turning out bells for churches and cathedrals across Britain and around the world. Poet and closet campanologist Ian McMillan spends a day among Whitechapel's foundrymen, and follows the birth of a new ring of bells set to bring back life to a church tower which has stood silent since the Second World War.
