La cloche, même solitaire dans son beffroi nettement postérieur à l’ensemble de l’édifice, à peut-être été fondue dans le four à cloche découvert dans le transept sud lors des fouilles de 1988. Son bronze porte la date de 1542. Une inscription est gravée sur le pourtour de la cloche : « Santa Maria, ora pro nobis », « François de la Rochefoucoult, seigneur de Marcillac et Andrée Vivonne, son épouse, Aubien Fabien prêtre curé. Jan Cacault, greffier, mon parrain et Jane Cacault, sa fille, ma marraine, laudate deum in tympeno et choro. Psalm. 150-1642 ».
