The Bells
In 1692, Abraham Rudhall I cast a ring of six for All Saints Church, four of which remain. Following the rebuilding of the church (1741) Abel Rudhall supplied two trebles in 1750 to complete the octave, and two years later added two more to make a ring of ten; at the time one of only some 30 rings of ten outside London. By 1792 the tenor had become cracked and was recast in 1805 by Thomas Mears & Son. Between 1972  the bells were removed from the tower, tuned at Whitechapel who also supplied a new frame, and rehung in 1974, all by local labour. The augmentation to twelve followed in 1977 and a Flat 6th was added in 2011.
