The third (1622) and fifth (1635) bells are by George I Oldfield of Nottingham. The tenor (1746) bell was formerly the work of Daniel Hedderly but was badly cracked and recast in 1947 by Taylors.

In 1552, at the Edward VI inventory, there were 3 bells in the steeple, a 'saunts' bell, 3 handbells, and a 'lyttle bell'.
