However, the massive walls soon proved too heavy for the chalk foundations and the tower began to lean to the South West.&nbsp; Therefore the plan for a tall tower was abandoned and a temporary roof put on top of the first storey.&nbsp; By 1250 there had been no further movement and so an 8 foot high second storey (now the bell chamber) was added, with 2 feet thick walls. &nbsp;That completed the squat tower you see today.<\/span>\n<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"><br>\n<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 25px;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 25px;\">Today we are seeing the results of this instability and we urgently need funds to repair and permanently stabilise the tower<\/span>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--.panel-grid-cell-container--><\/div><!--.panel-row-style--><\/div><!--.panel-grid--><div class=\"panel-grid ppb-row\" id=\"pg-120-1\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\" ><div class=\"ppb-row panel-row-style panel-row-style- \" style=\"\" ><style>#pg-120-1 .panel-grid-cell { padding: 0 0.5% 0;
