Extracts from the "achurchnearyou.com" website:-
The heraldic lozenge over the vestry door is the hatchment of Edmund MeyseyWigley. M.P. for Worcester (d. 1821). It was he who financed the building of the tower in 1818. This replaced a timbered bellturret similar to that of Mamble. The belfry houses four bells. The earliest is the treble, 15th C., and is inscribed with the words. "SANCTA NECOLAEORAPRONOBIS" "Saint Nicholas pray for us". The other three are of the l7th C.
