"Two bells were hung in 1656, the inscription reading: "God save his church, Robert Blunt, James Blunt" The bell founder was George Oldfield of Nottingham. The frame was made by Henry Gutteridge, the local blacksmith. A Third bell, since recast, was hung in 1659 and was inscribed: "I rouse up sluggards." "
