Inscriptions
Frame and Fittings
The bells hang from two steel frames - one in each arch of the bell turret - two bells in the north and one in the south arch. Internal pear-shaped clappers are attached to cables which run over pulleys and through the church roof. In the former arrangement there would have been three bells in each arch and a set of horizontal transmission rods - the holes for the ends of these rods can be seen in the picture above.
