History
A ring of five bells was cast by Matthew & James Bagley in 1747 and augmented to six by Mears in 1849. In 1923, by which time the bells had been unringable for about thirty years, they were remodelled by recasting the fourth and tenor to become the fifth and seventh of a new ring of eight, and adding a new treble and tenor. Finally, in 1996, the remaining non-Taylor bells were replaced and two trebles added to create the current ring of ten.
