Bell Tower - St Leonard - Grateley, Hampshire - Bell Towers on Waymarking.com

"Part of the work in the tower is Saxon and the 3 courses of brick are thought to be Roman.
There is a note in the registers that the wooden spire was half carried away by wind in 1781, but it was repaired and the vane was regilded in the same year. Storms caused major damage again in 1795 and 1818 and the spire has long since disappeared.

One of the original three bells was cracked and sold in 1858 to raise funds for the new clock; the remaining two bear the date 1583 and were made by John Wallis, bell founder, of Salisbury.
- one is inscribed ‘J.W. God be our guyde’ and the other ‘J.W. God be praysed’"
