History |
1662 | 3 bells were cast by William Hatch. | ||
1798 | Hasted records 5 bells in the tower. It is not clear whether he has confused this church with St Margaret, High Halstow. [1] |
[1] | The church, which stands close to the creek, is dedicated to St. Margaret; it consists of three small isles and one chancel, with a low pointed steeple, in which hang five bells, and has nothing remarkable in it.
