OLDEST - Church Bell in Derbyshire - St Bartholomew - Hognaston, Derbyshire - Superlatives on Waymarking.com

St Bartholomew's church, Hognaston, is home to Derbyshire's oldest church bell (early 13th century).

" the slimmer of the two bells hanging in the tower. Expert opinion states that, “without doubt it was cast in the early years of the 13th century, say between 1200 and 1220”. The other bell to be seen is inscribed ‘H. BUCSTON N. BRADLEY 1670’. Both bells have retained their good tones, but they were replaced by the present clock and three bells."
