In 1635, A meeting of the parishioners ordered that "he that keepeth the clock and ringeth curfewe shall have XIId per annum for his paynes: and also the ringers VIs. VIIId. Per annum to ring every Sonday in this manner following: to witt, the sexten one peale att seaven of the clock, the clark and sexten another peale att eight of the clock, and the clark, sexten, and other ringers another peale att nyne of the clock"  In 1639, A new bell purchased from the Chapel-Warden of Liverpool for 10s. 

In the seventeenth century records there are numerous references to the repair of the bells, and in 1666 we that the ringers rang with such vigour at the celebration attending the Restoration of Charles II that the treble bell burst and had to be re-cast. In 1680, Two bells recast but were not found satisfactory and a musician from Liverpool was paid 2s to give his judgement and censure of the bells. Apparently the little bell was out of tune as it had to be taken down and recast. It was rehung twice and rung, but not approved.  

When the new cast bells had been drawn up in to the steeple, the Huyton ringers were, as usual, called in to test them but the peal was not found satisfactory and the wardens referred the matter to a lawyer to put on a suit against the bellfounder. The proceedings were however not gone on with as apparently after the third attempt by the bellfounder to recast the bell it was finally approved. Three shillings and three pence was spent when Edward Markland of Wigan, and another came to Childwall and "we did consummate the bargaine with them about the bell and it was knoct in peeces." More trouble followed when one of the Wardens went to Wigan to see the bell re-cast the "mettall" did run upon the workmen. Another visit was necessary to see the bell broke out of the mould and weighed.
