tour of the tower

The entrance to the tower is from the west porch.

The spiral staircase is well lit and has a handrail.

The ringing chamber is only 14 steps up. This is where the ringers stand to ring.

The spiral staircase continues up another 20 steps to the bell chamber and clock room.

The bell chamber contains the eight bells hung in an iron frame (painted red) as well as the church clock.

Above the bell chamber is the original belfry containing the ancient clock bell, dating from around 1550.

Access to the tower roof is via a scaffolding tower - much safer than the old wooden ladder.
