notes:- |
At The Dissolution the church had 'five discordant bells', of which one was left in
the possession of the parishioners. One or more bells were cast or recast in 1599.
A 'great bell' was cast by Thomas Stafford, Penrith, 1630. The present bells are described
by Dove 2009. |
|
The timber bell frame, which was probably made 1661, was replaced by a steel and cast
iron bell frame designed by Eayre and Smith, Derby, 1988. |
