History |
| 1880 | Tower built. The single bell that used to hang in the tower was presumable of this date. | ||
| 1887 | Stahlschmidt records a "peal of 8 modern bells" - he was incorrect about this as only the single bell was in the tower. The bells were first rung on Easter Day. | ||
| 1930 | The bells of the chime were recast, and allegedly first rung to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of the KCACR (although there is no evidence for this). They were presented by Pryce and Susannah Mitchell from Monte Carlo as a Thank offering. |
