2012 by Nicholson Engineering Ltd (major overhaul)
Of the original six bells, bells 4/6 and 6/6 were retained within the ring and bell 5/6 was retained as the service bell; the remaining bells were scrapped and replaced using three newly cast bells and a second-hand bell sourced by the Keltek Trust; the bells were rehung with all new fittings in a new steel frame.
