The Tower houses a ring of six bells, which are rung regularly by an enthusiastic group of bellringers.
The oldest bell was cast about the year 1380, the next between 1488 and 1525.
Two bells date from 1604, one of which was a gift from Patrick Lowe (whose memorial is in the Chancel) and is very richly decorated.
The remaining two are modern, being installed in 1907.
This picture shows the bells in 1897 when a new bell frame was installed in the tower.
See the table below for details of each bell.
The bells are rung regularly each week.
