Edward Neale of Burford[7] cast St. James' sanctus bell in 1649 and the tenor and treble bells in 1662.[5] Henry III Bagley, who had bell-foundries at Chacombe in Northamptonshire and Witney in Oxfordshire,[7] cast an additional bell for St James' in 1732.[8] In 2004 the original bells were removed and a new frame was installed.[5] The Neale sanctus bell was retained, the largest of the Neale bells was re-hung as the tenor and the Bagley bell was also re-hung. A new treble bell and two other new bells, all cast by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in 2003 and 2004,[8] were added. A former buoy bell that John Taylor & Co of Loughborough cast in 1968[8] for Trinity House[5] was restored and added to the tower to complete the present ring of six bells.[5] The original Neale treble bell was removed to Burford where it is now displayed in St. John the Baptist parish church, Burford.[5]
