Access to the ringing chamber is by a steep, narrow and rather uneven spiral staircase (it gets steeper near the top). The ringing chamber is rather tired, but the bells sound super. (I am biased)
Cast the year Abel Rudhall died. 5th replaced by Taylor’s when the ring were retuned and rehung in a steel frame in 1950.
Visitors please note that a maximum of 14 people are allowed in the ringing chamber
