From the (

St. Bridget's has six bells made by Thomas Rudhall in 1764. They are unusual in being cast at the same time and each bell has an inscription, the second saying "When you us ring / We'll sweetly sing". The tenor bell, which is still tolled at a funeral, reminds its hearers "The living to the church I call / And to the grave will summon all". The treble has a coin imprint, which could be of the reign of George I, and the other bells bear names of the maker and churchwardens of the day.
