context_page_description: The Church of All Saints is the Anglican parish church in the village of Campton, Shefford, Bedfordshire, England. Its official title is Campton and Chicksands Parish and encompasses the villages of Campton and Chicksands and the nearby military base, despite the base having its own church dedicated to Saint Gilbert of Sempringham. The military church is a non-denominational church, so it is not a part of the Anglican parish.
  The building has been Grade II* listed since 1966.
context_section_description: The notice in the church (see image) lists 11 bells in the tower, two of which were cast in 1520 by William Culverden. Eight new bells were cast for the tower in 2006 by John Taylor & Co of Loughborough. The bells were hung alongside the existing three bells and dedicated on the 1 July 2007 being blessed in a special ceremony by the Bishop of Bedford.
  The Campton Bell-Ringers peal out the bells for Sunday morning services and the bells are used in bell ringing competitions.
