History Of The Bells
This is a central towered church on the main road through the village. The bells are rung from a ringing chamber with quite a low ceiling and are very loud inside. They go quite well. The 6-bell frame is believed to be by Alfred White in 1870, though the treble pit remained empty. The fittings are by Taylors in 1939 when the treble was finally added. The treble is flat headed, the fifth has had its canons removed and the rest have metal headstocks with a wooden pad between it and the canons.
There is a car park beside the church, to the left as you look from the main road, and the outside entrance can be seen from it. The village was transferred to Warwickshire from Worcestershire in 1931.
