Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Church Bells It is interesting to note that we have recently te-hung the Abbey Bells in a new iron frame, and completed the octave by the addition of two treble bells, which were placed there as a Thank-offering for the conclusion of Peace, This work enables us to. Record a continuous connection with these bells from 1583 to 1919. The ringing of Church Bells, as distinguished from simply chiming, is a custom that has grown up in this Country during the last two centuries or more. It is usual abroad to have three or more large Bells hung for chiming only, but some of the Cathedrals have as many as three or four octaves of Bells, fixed rigid, and played automatically by means of carillon machinery. It is, however, only by ringing that the full tone of a hell is brought out. The illustration on page 58 shows a bell hung for ringing; by means of a rope attached to the wheel, the bell is gradually raised until it is quite inverted, and sets mouth upwards, being held in position by the stay resting in contact with the slider. At each pull of the rope the bell turns a complete revolution for every blow of the clapper. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Church Bells of England Many books have already been published on the subject of Church Bells, and in particular those Of England, but as yet there hardly exists an adequate manual of the subject; much that has been written being now out of date, or lacking in comprehensiveness, or marred by superficial and inaccurate treatment. The present volume is an attempt by one who has made our Church Bells his special study for over twenty years, to set forth within a convenient compass the more important aspects of a subject which from its many-sidedness and its still living interest appeals perhaps to a more extensive class of readers than any other branch of English archaeology.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Changes Upon Church Bells It was many years ago, a Sunday morning in summer, or autumn, I forget which, when I was ringing away on my one note, calling all the folk to God's house. They came better then than they do now, I can tell you. I called in at the cottage, and at the great house down yonder. It was no use calling at the gate of the poor old castle.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Arts of the Church: Church Bells The little volumes in the Arts of The Church series are intended to provide information in an interesting as well as an accurate form about the various arts which have clustered round the public worship of God in the Church of Christ. Though few have the opportunity of knowing much about them, there are many who would like to possess the main outlines about those arts whose productions are so familiar to the Christian, and so dear. The authors will write for the average intelligent man who has not had the time to study all these matters for himself; and they will therefore avoid technicalities, while endeavouring at the same time to present the facts with a fidelity which will not, it is hoped, be unacceptable to the specialist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Church Bells and Ringing I have selected five-bell peals because so many parishes have five or six bells, and these peals can be rung upon either number, and also on ac count of the length to which six or seven-d peals would extend, as will be seen by the table annexed to this paper. It is true that peals are so arranged as to bring the bells round in a much shorter time than all the changes would occupy, otherwise peals on from eight to twelve bells could never be rung at all, still they would be of a length far beyond the limit of these pages.

Download or read book The Church Bells of Essex written by Cecil Deedes and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church Bells of Essex: Their Founders, Inscriptions, Traditions, and Uses In the length of a preface should bear an inverse ratio to the time taken in the compilation of the book, a brief foreword would suffice here, for "The Church Bells of Essex" has been so long upon the stocks that the present Editors are now far removed from those who began collecting the materials. We will conclude that our readers prefer to know something about the genesis of the work, and will briefly touch on the chief points. When the Tractarian movement begot in those who came under its influence a new reverence for, and interest in the fabrics of our cathedrals and churches, and a careful study of sacred architecture and art, among the objects which awakened interest were such monumental brasses as had survived the spoliation and carelessness of the preceding centuries. These being on the floors of churches naturally attracted attention much sooner than the bells which hung aloft out of sight. In turning over the pages of the Archaeological Journals, we can trace but few instances of bell inscriptions being reported earlier than the Rev. Wm. C. Lukis' 'Account of Church Bells' which appeared in 1857, the first comprehensive attempt at dealing with the rudiments of the present abstruse science of campanology. This word does not appear to have been used in its present sense, according to Dr. Murray's Dictionary, before the time of Lukis, for Craik in 1847 defines campanology as 'the art of ringing bells.' Sir J. H. H. Murray defines it 'the subject of bells; detailed examination of the principles of bell founding, bell ringing etc.' Lukis' book soon set others to work, and the systematic examination of belfries in other districts or counties besides Wiltshire became common. Among early enthusiasts we may notice the Rev. H. T. Ellacombe, a Devonshire worthy who extended his researches into the neighbouring counties of Gloucester and Somerset; Mr. Daniel Tyssen, who became responsible for Sussex; Mr. L'Estrange, who investigated the whole of Norfolk; and Dr. Raven, who published Cambridgeshire and Suffolk.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church Bells of Hertfordshire: Their Founders, Inscriptions, Traditions, and Peculiar Uses Few words are wanted from me to preface this work of my deceased friend, Mr. North. I am very thankful to his widow for entrusting the completion Of it to my unworthy self. At the time of his lamented death, the book was well advanced; nearly the whole of the material was in hand, and a large portion of the text written. My work, then, has been mainly to edit, with the exception of the chronological account Of the Bells of Hertfordshire, which is entirely my own writing. I mention this specially, in order that Mr. North may not be criticised on account of any Of the theories therein contained. If he erred at all, it was on the side of over caution, and I am by no means sure, if he had, happily, survived to have written the chapter, that he would have dealt with the various groups of bells in the same way that I have done. I have now to thank the many friends of his and mine who have given a helping hand, and in doing this, I fear that I shall be compelled to omit the names of some, perhaps of many. Mr. North left a careful list of all to whom he was indebted for rubbings or Copies of inscriptions, but not of those who supplied him with other and valuable information, and I have had to gather them from a necessarily hasty perusal of a large mass of correspondence. I trust, therefore. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
