The Bells
The six bells lined up in July 1999 prior to them going to Whites of Appleton to be refurbished
There is a ring of six bells, all by Mears and Stainbank and dated 1867, and a sanctus bell of 1832. In 1999 the six bells were re-tuned and re-hung with new fittings in a restored bell frame in time to ring in the new Millennium.
