1360	- 1380	Bell cast by Stephen Norton (future 4th of 5).
1552		Record of 4 bells in the tower.
1608		Treble and tenor (of 4) recast by Joseph Hatch.
1615		2nd (of 4) recast by Joseph Hatch.
1730		Treble bell added by Samuel Knight to make 5, hung by John Potter.
1739		Treble recast by Thomas Lester and bells hung in a new frame.
1802		Bells rehung.
1871		Frame reconstructed when the tower was rebuilt. The bells hung exactly as they were before.
1922		Last full circle ringing on the bells. After this time, they were condemned as unringable.
1972		The church (which had been closed after failing as the University Chaplaincy) was made redundant. The Kent C.A., after pressing for the bells to be safeguarded, encouraged the Archdeacon to apply for a faculty for their removal to safe storage. This was granted and the bells were taken out by Association members in May. The bells were stored, under license from the Diocese, at Whitechapel. Before removal, permission was granted for the bells to be rung (with the 4th chimed) to changes by some of those involved in the work.
1975		Bells tuned, augmented to 6 and rehung in the tower of St Saviour, Westgate-on-Sea. It is a coincidence that they travelled from one Westgate to another!

The last ringing at Holy Cross was not from the Ground Floor ringing room as the Cathedral's old ropes were not long enough! (left - right: Derek Carr, Tony Skilton, Martin Haigh)

The tenor reaches ground level, May 1972. Jim Stockbridge, who learned to ring on this bell in 1919, watches, with David Cawley whom Jim taught to ring in 1958.
