HISTORY |
| 1846-50 | Church built by Thomas Cundy and William Butterworth. | |
| 1847 | Clock bell cast by Charles and George Mears. | |
| 1849 | A ring of 10 bells was cast by Charles and George Mears and hung in a new frame in the tower. The tenor was given by Sir F.A.G. Ouseley. | |
| 1888 | Bell news described the bells as being "recently rehung". | |
| 1965 | 11th June |
Bells last rung before being closed down by the incumbent. |
| 2005 | An inspection showed no trace of the clock bell. | |
| 2006 | The spire was taken down and rebuilt. A full restoration of the bells is envisaged. |
The last peal on the bells was in 1902. The bells were last rung in 1965, since which time they have been allowed to fall into dereliction. Work is currently underway to repair the tower with a view to the bells being restored for full circle ringing again. |
