An old wheel for the tenor bell hangs in the nave of St Lawrence's church, "complete with the end of the headstock, gudgeon and stock hoop" http://www.bellhistorians.org.uk/junk.htm . "The old bell clappers ... were removed from the bell chamber in 1982, when the bells were increased to a ring of six" (from the church guide). Beneath is a plan of the church.
