From The Parish Magazine, August 1902:
Sutton Veny. Through the generosity of our much respected churchwarden, Mr. R. Elling, arrangements have been made with a London firm for the oiling and other necessary repairs of the weather cock on the top of our church spire. Much interest was shown in the parish on the 13th ult., when the Steeple Jack fixed his ladders and went up and brought down the cock, which was refixed on Tuesday last.
