Excerpt from Rambles Roundabout: And Poems

In the tower hangs a wooden tablet, recording an exploit of some of the forefathers of the village, when Blisworth seems to have cultivated bell-ringing To the memory of the following ringers, John Gudgeon, Wm. Peach, Benjamin Geode, Thomas Carter, and Thomas Garner, Who on ye 31st December, 1790, Did Ring scores in 3 hours and 40 minutes, which amounts to changes. Written by R. Dunckly, clerk, May 12, Taking this inscription in its literal sense, one would be led to understand that those gentlemen all died of their exertions between December and May. We h0pe that was not so, and that the tablet was put up in memory of the exploit, not of the actors in it. On the north side of the chancel there is a confessional window; and in the church yard, which is ascended from the road by a flight of steps, are the steps of a cross now carrying a sun-dial.
