Notes
[1]Notes on origin of the bells
The bell on display is the larger of a pair of bells, dated 1684 by the same founder, that used to hang in Upleatham Old Church. These bells were first transferred to Kirkleatham Old Hall Museum. Both bells were subsequently transferred to Skelton Old Church, although the smaller bell has since been stolen.
