Morris, B., 2010, St Margarets' Church, Stoodleigh, Devon, Bell Frame Recording (Report - Assessment). SDV346892.

The bell Frame at St Margaret's Church was recorded prior to its removal and replacement. Although the frame only dates from the later 19th century, an assessment undertaken by English Heritage had identified that it contained certain transitional elements worthy of record.

The bell frame is late 19th century in date and coeval with the installation of a new ring of six bells installed circa 1867. The oak frame is fairly simple, with unpegged joints supplemented by iron draw bolts. This frame has become unsafe due to the damage caused by water ingress impacting on its weak design.
