Bell Tower - St Peter - South Elmham St Peter, Suffolk - Bell Towers on Waymarking.com

Bell tower of St Peter's church, South Elmham St Peter, with a ring of 3 bells.

"The church comprises a nave and chancel only, with a good square tower of flint-work: it is of Norman construction, but evinces a total neglect of architectural purity in its later embellishments. The tower, which contains three bells, opens with a fine arch into the nave, over which is laid a good oak roof."

[Of the] "three bells hung in the tower, two of them were certainly cast by William Dawe in 1385. There are believed to be only 24 of his bells in existence. Two of St Peter’s bells are probably unique in that they bear Dawe’s trademark – a medallion upon which are two birds."
