=== Bells ===
The tower contains fifteen bells. There is a ring of twelve bells, with a tenor weighing 41 long hundredweight (with two extra semi tone bells) surrounding the 7.5 ton [[bourdon bell]] called Hosanna. In August 2018, the Abbey hosted the Millennium Bell Ringing Festival in celebration of its 1000th year since the foundation of the monastery.

The bells were cast in 1935 by John Taylor and Co. and were donated by a local benefactor, [[Robert Harvey (businessman)|Sir Robert Harvey]].<ref name=Smith/> They are hung in the traditional change ringing style, and have an [[Ellacombe apparatus|Ellacombe chiming apparatus]]  for single-handed ringing, though this is currently out of use.
