The three tiered church tower was restored in 1923. During the restoration a skull was found and was placed in a glass case on the tower wall. It has since deteriorated. Another of the treasures of the church tower is the 'Ringer's Rhyme", mounted on a wall in the tower, and dates 1793. In 1552 there were four bells, which were recast in 1760 to make six, and recast again in 1813.
