History
Unsurprisingly this church is in St Mary Street! The church was built in 1839 and provided with a single bell by Thomas Mears (12-1-23, 41.00") which was hung for ringing.
A chime of eight bells was erected as a War Memorial in 1948. They are fixed to two steel beams in two rows of four, (odds on one beam and evens on the other) and chimed by their clappers from a chiming manual in the ringing room. They were all cast with flat tops.
The names of the fallen are given in the inscription on the tenor bell in alphabetical order in two columns side by side.
