HISTORY

1592	Present 3rd cast.
1614	Present 5th cast.
1693	Present 4th cast.
1727	Present tenor cast.
1832	Church badly damaged by fire.
1860	Bells rehung in a new frame by Mears & Stainbank.
1880	Two trebles added by John Warner, who adapted the existing frame to make 6. The 8 bell frame would be of the standard 2-4-2 format, however the 2 vacant pits are in the wrong place and not even adjacent. The original 4-bell frame (Mears c.1860-70) occupied the two outer limbs with the 4-bell central space left vacant.
1903	Repairs to fittings effected by Mears & Stainbank.
1992	Bells tuned and rehung in old frame by Whitechapel.
