A bell still stands on the site where Oksby Old Church once stood. It was cast in 1844 and was originally housed on a ship which ran aground on the coast at Oksby. The church was demolished in 1891 after the construction of the churches in Mosevrå and Blåvand-Oksby and the bell was secured. A few decades ago, the outline of the church was marked with pebbles and the bell was placed on a tripod.
