says ... 5.

There was only one chalice c. 1277 (fn. 319) and one silver chalice with a
paten in 1552. (fn. 320) The existing cup and paten were given in 1635, and
another paten of 1840 in 1842. (fn. 321) There were four bells in 1552, (fn.
322) and five by 1746. (fn. 323) All but one were broken when the tower fell
in 1824, and the existing five bells were cast by Thomas Mears of London in
1825. (fn. 324) The surviving parish registers begin only in 1700. (fn. 325)

Is anyone able to tell me how many bells there were at Weston Colville,
Cambs, prior to the collapse of the tower in 1825?  Raven simply says that
'all the bells were broken but one, which is now the treble at Wood Ditton'.
