There are eight bells fitted in a metal frame. In 1948 three new bells and three bells recast by John Taylor of Loughborough were fitted as a memorial to the people of Stotfold who gave their lives in the Second World War. Two additional bells were fitted in 1976. All the bells are tuned to the oldest bell which dates from about 1484.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
