1552 Record of 4 bells in the old church.
1722 5 bells were cast by Samuel Knight.
1944 16th Aug. The church received a direct hit from a flying bomb. Only the badly damaged tower and parts of the chancel wall survived. This photo was taken in 1944.
1945 The bells were removed from the tower and stored by the railway line from where the 4th was stolen. The belfry stage of the tower was then largely demolished.
1955 The 5 surviving bells were taken to John Taylor & Co., Loughborough. The new church and tower were completed.
1964 The ruins of the old church were made safe and a concrete floor was inserted in the tower at "1st floor" level.
