What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron bell tower, erected c.1820. Comprising bell with rotary pulley wheel and chain pulley, supported by columns with fluted bases and decorative handles. Set within grounds of Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart.
Although set to one side of the churchyard, the form of this bell tower makes it a notable feature in the village. Its simple design is enhanced by its decorative columns and bell handles, giving an artistic quality to this otherwise functional object. In the past, church bells played an important role in religious life, calling parishioners to Mass and tolling to mark significant occasions.
