[2]Treble bell listing
The treble is listed because of the unusual inscription sic sacheverellus ore melos immortali olli ecclesiae defensori hanc dicat Gulielmus Leman de Chersfield Eques 1710
(’since Sacheverell’s eloquence is so musical, so this is dedicated to him, the immortal defender of the church, by Sir William Leman of Charsfield 1710’)
The inscription is in support of Rev Henry Sacheverell.
A good portion of the crown is missing.
