History

The derelict 4-bell ring was restored in 1956, when the treble was re-cast and the 4^th and 6^th bells were added. The 5^th bell is thought to have been founded by William Burford of Aldgate about 1380. The 3^rd bell may be 17^th century. The 2^nd bell bears the inscription “Christopher Hodson made me 1683”.
