1552	Record of "5 great bells and a sance bell, a clock bell and a little bell for the jack and the clock".
1616	The 4th and tenor (of 5) were recast by Miles Graye.
1627-8	The tenor (of 5) was recast by Thomas Bartlet.
1677-82	Church built by Wren.
1708	It was reported that there were "no bells except a small one to ring at prayer time". This was clearly incorrect.
1670	Three larger bells and a little bell were cast and hung by Richard Phelps (likely to have been bells 2, 3 and 4 of 5). The largest of these bells survives.
1736	All the bells apart from the 4th were sold and a new bell was bought in part exchange. Phillip Hatherell was the founder of this bell, although the churchwardens accounts name the founder as being a "Mr Ford".
1876	Original tower demolished to permit the widening of Great Victoria Street.
1894	Rest of the church demolished leaving the substitute tower.
1932	The larger bell was retuned at Whitechapel and rehung at St Jude's, Hampstead Garden Suburb (Golder's Green). The smaller bell went to St Michael Paternoster Royal from where it was reportedly stolen.
1964	Substitute tower demolished.
