"Four bells hang here, with two of them being very ancient. Starting off with the other two though and the first bell here is inscribed with the initials of the founder, which was Richard Chandlet III of Drayton Parslow in Buckinghamshire. This bell is dated 1699 and the letter "C" in the inscription is reversed. The fourth bell of this ring was cast by Robert Taylor of St Neots and is dated 1788. This bell is inscribed with the names Thomas Ladds and Henry Hanger, the churchwardens of the day.
Bells two and three are the ancient ones, being cast by John Walgrave of Aldgate, London. He was an active bellfounder between the years 1418 and 1440. Despite the great age though, there are several examples of Walgraves work still existing in churches within the catchment area of this site."
