The tower at the west end of the church is built of grey sandstone. It was built in the 15th century and houses a fine peal of 8 bells. Two of them are over 300 years old. Prior to 1924 the tower contained a ring of four bells of which the present 5th was dated 1614 and the present 7th was dated 1676. In 1924 these two were recast and two lighter bells were added to make a ring of 6. In 1949 after World War II, the ring was augmented to 8 bells. The tenor bell (largest) weighs nearly 12 ½ cwt (approx 635 kilos) and is probably late 16th century being the work of Newcombes of Leicester along with the 6th bell of the peal, dated 1605. These two are considered ancient bells and may not be recast.
