Parking - very restricted by church on practice night, otherwise car parks in the town. Public toilet and good pub in Church Lane.

Access to the spacious and pleasant ringing chamber is by easy, wide spiral staircase.

The bells are a mixed lot, but the Taylor’s tuning and rehang in 1951 was excellent and they sound splendid (but rather loud outside) and go well. Rope guides, added in 2001, and new bearings in 2004 have made the handling much easier
