About the Bell
1 Bell, in Ab
Upwaltham has a single bell, hung in a small, west facing belfry.
The church dates back to the 12th century, of which the nave and chancel are original.
At the west end of the church, the wall is much thicker than the rest, and could suggest it supported a stone belfry?
Although, the route of access into the belfry probably reveals why it's about 2' thicker.
The belfry is accessed by firstly propping up a 19-rung ladder to the top of this wall extension, followed by a 14-rung ladder through the hatch in the ceiling.
The Up Waltham bell is on the list of the oldest bells in the county.
