RISTON WEST, S. Michael - 1 [bell].

 
Percute Dulce Cano T. Osborn Fecit 1789

Two bells of 6½ and 5½ cwt. 6th Edward VI.

It appears from the Visitation Book for 1677 that the churchwardens were cited to certify, inter alia, that they had new run [sic] the split bell. William Barnwell appeared and answered "that about two years since the towne had an order from Mr Roberts and Mr Tenison to sell the Bell and repayre the church." Blomefield, vol. vii., p. 393, says "the upper part of the tower lies open, and is broke down to the roof of the church."
