I saw this horror movie on TV, around the early sixties. I remember it taking place in an English village and there was a desecrated church involved. I mainly remember the church bell ringing, and when people investigated it, they found the village transient hanging from the rope. The reason the bell was ringing was because his dog was pulling on his pant leg, trying to get him down. This film may have been English, possible a Hammer film. The TV was black and white, so I don’t know if the movie was in color.
“La Cripta E L’incubo”(1964). English title is Crypt of the Vampire. I remembered this scary scene as well and found the movie after many years of searching. I found a good print of it on dvd from Sinister Cinema as “Crypt of Horror”. Here is the scene.
Not English, it’s Italian. It does star Christopher Lee though, one of the biggest stars of Hammer studios.
Okay, I know this is an ancient post, but I see that this video was pulled. Here is the full movie, dubbed into English, under the title “Crypt of tbe Vampire”. The scene you described begins at about 57:15.

I meant “Terror in the Crypt”.
