HISTORY
1864 Church built and bell cast and hung in the tower by John Warner & Sons.
1885 A clock bell was added to the tower by John Warner & Sons.
1887 A ring of 6 bells was cast by John Warner & Sons for St Mary's, Peterborough.
1890 Two bells were cast for Gosport church.
1990 The bells from Peterborough were removed from their church. It was rebuilt and equipped with 8 new bells. The old 6 were taken to Whitechapel Bell Foundry and tuned, pending transfer to St Saviour's.
1992 The Peterborough and Gosport bells were hung in a new frame. A new facility for training ringers was set up and dedicated to James G A Prior, a past Master and Secretary of the Ancient Society of College Youths. The centre was opened on Easter Monday.
