First built in 1377, this fine tower has survived Cromwell's army and lightning, which struck in 1680 and destroyed the single spirette. Located at the base is a cut benchmark - see http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm39805 for the listing. See also Image] for a wider view of the north side of the church.
