Notes
[1]History of the bell
This bell was observed March 2025 by Jake Reid who reports that it was unhung at the bottom of the tower. The churchwarden informed him that it is from a closed church in the area. He plans to build a frame to hang it as a Sanctus bell in the belfry. The cast in crown staple needs removing though as it’s rusted up. The bell was cast in 1874 by John Warner and Sons.
