"During the construction of the church, an order for six bells was placed with John Taylor of Loughborough. A six-bell oak bellframe was constructed for the church. At installation in 1864 this was extended to accommodate two extra bells and a ring of eight was installed. Cast in the Key of E, the heaviest of these weighed 17cwt (about ¾ tonne).
In 1999, through the effort of the Nottingham University Society of Change Ringers, the bells were tuned and rehung in a new steel bell frame for ten bells. At the same time the redundant All Saints’ Church School bell was hung as a Sanctus bell. By 2004 enough money had been raised to cast two new treble bells and complete the ring of ten. The Nottingham University Society ring the bells for the Church."
