Description

The bell tower, located at the junction with Glebe Street, is likely from the 16th century and features a 20th-century cupola. It is constructed from rubble magnesian limestone and has a wooden cupola. The structure is two storeys high and consists of a single cell. The lower storey is square with quoins and a boarded door on the south side, which is set beneath a thin stone lintel. The upper storey transitions to an octagonal shape at the half-pyramidal corner stops and is topped with a band and offset courses that form the base of the cupola. The cupola itself is open-sided and arcaded, featuring a boarded roof with a spike finial. This tower served to call the congregation to the old parish church, which is situated some distance from the village center. The tower may have medieval origins or could be contemporary with the earlier Warmsworth Hall, which is located nearby.
