It seems that the worthy schoolmaster was so pleased with his little sermon that he was soon repeating it to his pupils in the schoolhouse. He was interrupted by the urgent clanging of the church bells. He sent a boy out to find out the cause of the disturbance and soon received the awful news that the church had been struck and the steeple was on fire!
But when did this happen? 1607 or 1703? I fear that I have been totally flummoxed by this game of Chinese Whispers among historians. It sounds more like 1703 to me but why then are we told that the tower was rebuilt in 1606?
Opposite the church there is a cottage which has a massive window lintel downstairs, with a housing for a halved joint of a type that would have been used in the former spire. The cottage is built filling the gap between two older ones but unfortunately there is nothing in the present structure to precisely date its construction.
