Weston All SaintsBells
The west tower contains a ring of three bells and a sanctus hung in a wooden frame for three bells with all fittings by Taylors in 1867.
The treble bell was cast by George I Oldfield of Nottingham and the second is by the Mellours family and dates from c.1500. The sanctus bell is by an unidentified 17th century founder.
