This bell frame dates from the seventeenth century and allows for the hanging of three bells. It is constructed of oak, and several of the timbers have been re-used from an earlier frame. It cam from the church of St Mary, Stoughton, West Sussex.*

The spire over the bell frame was constructed in 2009, to illustrate best practice in fixing hand-cleft shingles. Both the framing and the shingling of the spire were partly carried out students learning these important crafts.*
