The tower of All Saints' Church in Flore contains a ring of six bells. The heaviest five were cast by the Bagleys of Chacombe in 1676-79. In 1743 the heaviest of these was recast by Russell of Wootton, Bedford, who also added a treble bell. They range in weight from 270kg to 648kg and are hung in a metal frame by Taylors of Loughborough, dated 1963.
The tower is 20m high and is built in a mellow brown sandstone which probably came from the quarry at Duston, near Northampton, and has twelfth century foundations.
The bells are rung regularly for both Divine Services and practice.
