The west end tower of the Church of St John The Baptist, Upper Boddington currently contains a ring of five bells and a service tolling bell, these being hung in the uppermost of the three stages behind the louvered openings. The last major work on these bells was undertaken in 1902 by the now defunct Birmingham Bellfounders and Bellringers, James Barwell & Sons. The treble, or smallest , bell was recast as part of the restoration.

An inspection was undertaken on 23rd June 1004 by John Taylor Bellfounders Ltd and as the fixings of the bell frame into the tower walls are considered unstable, the bells have no rung since that date. The tower needs major restoration work. This work will be completed first followed by the restoration of the bells.
