St Peter^s Church
 |
On entering St Peter's at the base of the Tower and passing through the main entrance doors, you are greeted by an impressive long view down the Nave, flanked on either side by support columns and the aisles. There is a lot to take in; this walk-through guide will help to focus your attention.
There is a ring of ten bells, the oldest dating from 1470. The two newest bells were added in 1978. In March 1863 the rector forbade a peal of bells to celebrate the marriage of the Prince of Wales because it was the season of Lent. Under cover of darkness the bell ringers used ladders to scale the walls and climb over the roof into the tower, staying and ringing the bells all day, refreshed by supplies of food and ale hauled up through the tower windows.
