History Of The Bells

This church, very close to Birmingham Airport and the NEC, has recently fought against being declared redundant. Things seem OK at the present.

The bells hang in a composite frame for five by Barwell, who rehung the bells in 1898. The, now, back 5 all had their canons removed. A rider frame for the treble was supplied by Taylors in 1929. The tenor was rehung on ball bearings in 1929 and the rest in 1958 - all by Taylors.

There is a small parking space by the churchyard wall.
