Despite this however, there is no other record of how many bells there were, until 1751 when following a special parish meeting, the bell founders Abel Rudhall of Gloucester were consulted. They suggested that the four bells should be melted down and the metal used to cast 5 new bells. This work was not carried out until 1757 following the appointment of yeoman Thomas Wilson to transport the bells to Shrewsbury the previous year. The bells were to be recast in a style as close to that of the bells at nearby Burton. The bells were returned in 1787, but again by 1881 they were in need for repair when 15 feet of the spire had to be rebuilt. This time the bells were sent to Taylor's of Loughborough, where the smallest bell (the treble) was recast and a new tenor (heaviest bell) was added.

All six bells were again recast by Taylor's in 1922, when the current frame was also installed (we think!), with the original inscriptions of the bells being retained, together with an additional inscription being added to the tenor. Before the bells were returned to Eastham the tenor bell was weighed at 12cwt 1qr 11lb (628kg) and were tuned to the key of 'G'.
