Often the name of The Bell reflected the close association that the church had with inns and taverns in the past and particularly in medieval times. Although this former public house dates from 1820 and not the medieval period, it is interesting that it is very near the Church of St. Thomas. In times past it was very common for a pub to be near a church. Image
