[Bell Historians] All Saints, Billesley

[Neil Skelton]

The very same guide book referred to says, "The remade wooden bell-turret
houses a small bell of 1721 by Richard Sanders of Bromsgrove." It is
inscribed "RICHARD SANDERS MADE MEE 1721" and measures approx 12 inches in
diameter.

The church is vested in The Churches Conservation Trust.
