From the website cited below:-
Throughout the nineteenth century it received a number of careful restorations. In 1809 the old bells were recast and two new ones added by William Dobson, bell-founder, of Downham Market, to make a ring of six with the following inscriptions: —
Treble: ”Let us sing praises unto the Lord on high.”
2: “William Dobson fecit Anno Domini 1809.”
3: “Fear God and honour the King.”
4: “Let us lift up our voices with joy.”
5: “William Dobson Founder Downham Norfolk 1809.”
Tenor: “Thomas Crofts and William Gowen Churchwardens 1809.”
The tenor weighs 12 cwt, and the whole is a beautifully toned ring and the only one in working order for many miles around.
