The church from the south.

The new clock can be clearly seen.

The church was recently been floodlit - 

pretty until the vandals broke it!

Two internal shots of the church showing that little of the Normal origins are left, 

but the church is nevertheless quite an attractive one internally.

The 12cwt tenor. Yes the frame 

could do with a lick of paint!

The 3rd & 4th in the upper frame

One of the slate peal boards. 

A local ringer was a stonemason  and he made several  like this for churches in the surrounding area.  A new one was recently made for a peal  rang in memory of  Hubert Summers, a ringer at Allesley for over 75 years.

The sound control floor - the centre trap can opened and closed by using a rope in the ringing room. One louvre is partly open on the side of the tower without houses nearby. The last complaint we had was because we rang a peal with the sound control closed! "Leave it open", said the parishioner in a letter to the ringers!
