History |
1695 | A fire in the corn chandler's property spread to the tower bringing both it and the bells down. | ||
1696 | A new ring of 6 was cast by Philip Wightman. | ||
1759 | 5th was removed and its clapper was mended. The bell was recast by Lester & Pack. | ||
1800 | Work took place on the bells. | ||
1847 | Work took place on the bells. | ||
1913 | Bells rehung by Alfred Bowell with steel headstocks. [1] | ||
1928 | Bells again attended to. | ||
1976 | Oct. | All ringing stopped as the tower and frame were found to be unsafe. This necessitated a new ring beam to be installed. | |
1978 | Bells retuned and rehung with new fittings in a new frame by Whitechapel hung lower in the tower. |
[1] | To rehanging the six bell £94. Paid cq. 6 June 1913. (Bowell records, 10 May 1913) |
