Scarning
SS Peter and Paul
Sonorous would be a good description of these beefy slow-turning ‘old style’ bells. They are rather loud outside but pleasant to listen to nonetheless. There were three bells recorded here in 1552 which provided the metal for a new ring of five in 1697 cast by Charles Newman, an itinerant founder. Gillett & Johnston restored the bells in 1931, at the same time adding a new treble but retaining the old bell frame.
The sturdy tower is 16c and has stepped parapets with the four evangelists in residence, one at each corner. (Roger Peckham).
