Built in 1826, the parish church tower contains seven bells: they range in weight from about 6cwt to the Tenor of about 12cwt, and were last rehung at the beginning of the last century. The Sanctus bell is a separate seventh bell salvaged from the former Primary School in South Road where it used to remind the laggardly that they must soon be at their desks. It now performs a similar duty for today’s congregation. See Image] for a full view.
