09/07/2021Overhaul in 1953 noted (Taylor's). [Taylor's archive via C J Pickford]
09/07/20213-8: cast year amended. Bells are not dated nor is there documentary evidence of when they were cast.What we do know is that the bells were delivered to the church in June 1880 and were dedicated along with the church 27/Oct/1880. Bell News Vol 1 p374 states that the bells were cast in 1879 but this report, dating from several years later, is unattributed. [Discussions between Dove Stewards, C J Pickford, N Skelton]
