There is a large studded door on the south  side of the tower and inside this is a second door which is released from the ringing room when the visitors identify themselves over an intercom system. A circuitous route leads to a large ringing room in which hangs a good collection of peal boards including one dating from 1731 and one recording a peal of Grandsire Triples rung in 1785 by the Anacreontic Society.
