"The tower was completed in 1515, built by Thomas Rollestone, Lord of the Manor. It has three stages and diagonal buttresses. On the west face is an inscription: Ainsy et mieulx peult ester (Thus it is and better could it be).

The church has a ring of six bells; this includes the single bell contemporary with the completion of the tower in 1515. A second bell was added in 1642, and a third in 1864. In 1902 the bells were re-hung with three new bells."
