A Peel of Six Bells
The
Tower
houses
a
ring
of
six
bells,
which
are
rung
regularly
by
an
enthusiastic
group
of
bellringers.
The
oldest
bell
was
cast
about
the
year
1380,
the
next
between
1488
and
1525.
Two
bells
date
from
1604,
one
of
which
was
a
gift
from
Patrick
Lowe
(whose
memorial
is
in
the
Chancel)
and
is
very richly decorated. The remaining two are modern, being installed in 1907.
This
picture
shows
the
bells
in
1897
when
a
new
bell
frame
was
installed
in
the tower. The table below gives some details of each bell.
The
bells
are
rung
regularly
each
week,
but
restrictions
during
the
Covid 19
pandemic have meant that no bell ringing is possible.
For
further
information
