Old Church Bells
The
Tower contains a ring of 8 bells; the weight of the tenor
is 10 1/4 cwt, installed in 1977 by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry.
The metal for seven of the bells came from Immanuel Church,
Streatham, the remaining bell the number 3, was already in
the tower, cast from metal which may date from the reign of
Queen Elizabeth I. More information about the bell can be
found on the history pages of the website, <click
