This bronze hand bell, which is of Early Medieval form, is attached by a modern chain to the N pedestal of the altar at the ENE end of the parish church (NM76NE 1). It measures 158mm by 126mm across its roughly rectangular splayed mouth by 164mm in height to the crown where there is a loop handle measuring 67mm across and 37mm high. The body of the bell varies from 7mm to 12mm in thickness and is undecorated but the handle is engraved with a simple skeuomorph of a rope (short diagonal lines confined between two vertical lines). The iron clapper, which is not original, is hooked on to a loop suspended from two perforations in the crown.
