HISTORY

1635	Bell cast by Joseph Hatch for St Mary, Reculver.
Mid 18th Cent	The old mediaeval tower was largely rebuilt. It is a west tower of stone & brick, rendered in Roman cement, with wooden louvred cupola
1760	Hasted records that there had been three bells but "two of the others had been taken away and sold many years ago towards the repair of the church".
1809	The present bell was acquired from Reculver church on its demolition. There is no room in the tower for more bells than the present one, and no physical evidence of there having been more.
1887	Stahlschmidt records 1, formerly 3 bells.
1988	The bell went to Whitechapel, where the staple was drilled out and it was supplied with all new fittings, but was not tuned before being rehung for swing chiming with a lever in the existing frame.
