Bells

The bell

A single bell, cast by Mears and Stainbeck in 1871, is hung dead from a wooden beam in the tower. The bell is clocked.

In July 1944, following a donation from an anonymous donor, engineers installed apparatus in the church that would allow recordings of the bells of York Minster, Westminster Abbey, St. Martin’s in the Field and Bow Church to be played through a gramophone which was amplified by eight loud speakers fitted in the belfry. The equipment may have been fitted in preparation for celebrations to mark the end of the Second World War, with the Reverend Robert Deaville stating his desire to hear, ‘church bells ringing for joy when the great day comes’.
