The name Eight Bells is a nautical reference to the traditional ships watch system. Time was marked by the ringing of the ships bell. A watch was usually four hours so eight bells rang the end of the shift (a bell for each half hour) . The terminology is also referred to as a sign of respect for a seafarer who has passed away - or figuratively speaking finished his watch.

If you are looking to get onto the property ladder down in the bottom of village this is a great property to consider as it is very keenly priced and has been lovingly maintained by its current owners who have had the property a long time so there is nothing that needs to be done before taking over ownership.
