Bell Tower

Photograph at the Bell Tower green plaque

The Bell Tower. This unusual 16th Century structure was necessary because the Church tower was not strong enough to hold the bells. John de Narde, a French prisoner from the Napoleonic War, escaped from the building. He was later shot and lies buried in the churchyard.
