The Five Bells - Chelsfield Village

A family run traditional English country Pub. The Five Bells is a quaint 17th Century English pub nestled in the village of Chelsfield, just a five minute drive from Orpington. It got its name from the church up the road, St. Martin of Tours. The church is famed for bell ringing back in 1664 (or thereabouts as there are conflicting dates) the church had four bells and wanted another cast. The inn was built and the name The Five Bells was very aptly given to it. The church still enjoys its fame for bell ringing but now has eight bells, however, we have no intention of changing our name. The current bell ringers practice on a Monday and can be found in the pub after practice.
