Notes
[1]Reasons for listing for preservation
Bells and bellframes were listed for preservation by the Church Buildings Council 24 Apr 2024 on the following grounds: 1. It is a rare case of an installation being documented in this Diocese 2. The installation has been largely left intact and therefore the bells and bell frame have been unaltered since 1793.
