The Bells

In 2001  work was carried out by Whites of Appleton on the front four bells of the ring of six. They where re-tuned, leaving the 5th and "listed" tenor bells uncut, and were rehung in the restored wrought-iron double-bar bell frame with new ringing fittings.  The pitch of the tenor is B flat, minus 42/100 of a semitone.

The bells were re-dedicated on Sunday, 29th July 2001.
