The Bells
The Bell Chamber
The tower has 10 bells and access to it is gained through the church and across the roof, this leads straight in to the ringing room, above the ringing room is the clock mechanism and above that is the home of all ten bells. You can go right on to the roof of the tower and the view around Ramsgate and surrounding area is quite fantastic.

This is what the neighbours heard:
From: half-muffled quarter peal rung on Good Friday 2011.
With enthusiastic contributions from local wildlife and the odd motorcycle.
