Chudleigh Devon
Bishop Grandisson bequeathed to the parish church “two large BELLS of  my chapel at Chudleigh”. in his will dated 1368.  The chapel referred  to was at the nearby Bishop’s Palace.  The records show that in 1553  there were “IIII belles yn the tower heire”.  A treble bell was  added in 1752 and in 1783 the five bells were taken to Penningtons of  Exeter and recast into six.  In 1923 two additional bells were presented  and all eight bells were rehung on a new steel frame.
