History

1855 1. Rehanging the 3 bells dead with either trigger action clappers or electro-magnetic clappers
1876 2. Recasting the 2 smaller bells into 8 with a tenor of 7˝ cwt in B flat, with either Ellacombe chiming apparatus or electrically operated, giving the tenor a trigger action clapper of electro-magnetic action.
1972 3. Recasting the 3 bells into a new chime of 8 in E flat with either Ellacombe chiming apparatus or electrically operated.
1973 The Parish had decided on the 2nd option, but never pursued it.
1976 The remaining bell was rehung for electric chiming in the new spire. It wasn't tuned, but the crown staple was removed.
