THE BELLS

The front 4 bells are hung from wooden headstocks, the back two from metal. The oak bellframe was made in around 1840 when the tower was made taller to accommodate the parish clock. The bells are hung on two levels, the front three above the others.

The bells can be heard on Bill Hibbert's website.
