There is a long-standing tradition that a tenor bell now hanging in the tower of All Saints’, Derby, was once the treble of the six bells at St Mary’s Abbey:  this may be apocryphal, as all six St Mary’s bells weighed a total of 47 hundredweight, and this single bell alone weighs 32 hundredweight.  This tenor bell bears the inscription ‘in old black letter, in one line around the haunch: - (shield) Trinitate sca fiat hec campana (crown) beata’, and it is thought to date from the 14th or 15th century.  Three bells at Radbourne church are also said to be from St Mary’s Abbey, but as one is inscribed Jesus be our speed 1595, this seems to be unlikely.
