From a bell-ringing website:-
Ground floor ring, with rope guides. The ringing area is under the West tower. These bells form the oldest complete ring of six by one founder.
From Wikipedia:-
The red sandstone parish church of St Peter is Norman in origin.[5] Its peal of six bells, cast locally in 1673 by the bellfounder Richard Keene of Woodstock, in Oxfordshire, is the only complete set of original bells in the county. The bells are a Maiden Ring, a peal of bells that sounds the correct notes immediately after casting and needs no further tuning. St. Peter's was one of the first churches in Worcestershire to have as many as six bells and at the beginning of the 18th century[6] very few churches had more than three or four bells. In 1894 the bells were rehung on the original frame and no further major work has been required since.
