April 2000. Bell and bellframe survey.
The four bells were removed from the tower in 1983 and moved to Barton Turf. They were cast by John Darbie of Ipswich in 1672. The bell frame was originally designed for three bells, but a fourth was added in 1672 by cutting away the top ends of the central pit.
