The Bell Tower, is one of Herefordshire's seven detached belfries and is considered the finest. There is no other campanile in England exactly like it. Structurally, it is related to the stave churches of Norway and the bell houses of Sweden.

It stands 48 feet north of the Chancel and consists of a stone ground storey, low and of an irregular octagonal shape 45 feet in diameter with a high truncated pyramid roof. The second stage is a vertical weather boarded bell stage with a truncated pyramid roof. The whole is crowned with a third smaller boarded stage with a little shingled spire. Note the old stone tiles on the two lower roofs. The clock was given in memory of Rev. J Crouch, Rector of the Parish 1848-1888.

On entering the belfry, note the carvings on the stone jambs which could have come from the earlier Church. Inside is a most impressive timber structure surrounded by an ambulatory within the thick stone walls. Eight immense oak pillars form a square. These are braced both horizontally and scissor-fashion and rise to the top of the lower truncated pyramid roof.

When the Belfry was restored in 1898 and 1957, extra timbers were inserted and the bases of the upright timbers were strengthened with concrete. In 1983-84 the tower underwent a complete restoration funded entirely by the Department of the Environment. Much information came to light at this time helping to date the tower more accurately. The original sructure is now considered to be early 13th century though only the four huge timber corner posts remain from the original building. The stone walls and outlying trusses were inserted in the 15th and 16th centuries and there was further remodelling in the 17th century. Since the restoration the Parish Council has assumed responsibility for the future maintenance of the tower.

It is now thought that the oldest timbers could have come from a castle or fortified manor house which once stood on the site of the present Court House Farm adjoining the Churchyard.

It has been suggested that the Bell Tower was originally merely a framewortk of timber to support the bells whilst the Church was being built. For some reason or other, perhaps lack of money, a tower was never built and so the detached Bell Tower came into being.

It is evident from the narrow loop holes in the walls that it was, in its early days, used as a place of refuge and the holes in the door are reputed to be shot holes.

The fine peal of five bells hung in an old oak frame includes one older than the Reformation. They bear the following inscriptions:

Hanging in the upper stage of the Belfry roof is a small Sanctus Bell. Its diameter is 13 inches and it bears no inscription or founder's marks. The date is unknown, but reference to it is made in the Church Wardens' accounts of 1692. This bell was restored to use by Mr Leslie Evans in 1978, having been silent for forty years.
