A stolen bell that rang along with its brothers and took the pirate ship down with it.
Legend says Danish pirates raided Bosham church and stole the tenor bell. As their ship sailed away the remaining bells were rung, and the stolen bell miraculously joined in, sinking the ship. It is said that the bell still rings under the water whenever the church bells ring.
