Historic Pictures

If you compare this picture of the Bell Cage with what you can see today, at first glance you may think there is little difference.

Look more closely.

There are no steps in front of the door. These were added when Queen Mary came to visit the Church and Bell Cage on June 15th 1938 making this picture over 75 years old!
If you go the village shop you can buy post card to send to your friends, do you think it will appear on a Web site in 100 years time? This one did!.

If you look carefully at the postmark it is dated 07 - 1907?

Unlike the bell cage, you would see a significant difference between the ringers then and those of today. For a start - we do not wear caps!

The rededication of the bells following the restoration in 1973/4.
