From the Parish website:-
St. John the Baptist, Whitbourne, has a ring of six bells (with a tenor of 11.75 cwt.), plus a Sanctus bell. The present cast iron frame, installed in 1908, lasted a hundred years – a crack was found in January 2009, resulting in the bells being pronounced dangerous to ring. The crack has now been repaired, but some doubt remains about the condition of the beams below the frame. We do ring, but only occasionally.
