Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church Bells of Suffolk: A Chronicle in Nine Chapters, With a List of the Inscriptions on the Bells, and Historical Notes As this, the latest contribution to English Campanology, is in one sense the earliest, a few words seem necessary to explain the history of a book which has been forty-two years in hand, and to account for its imperfections. In the days of my boyhood at Mildenhall, where my father was curate, I took great delight in the sound of the bells, and raised a five-pound note for the repair of the gear of the fine old tenor. The bell-hanger, one Flanders Green, an enthusiastic ringer, asked me to read for him two of the inscriptions, of which I made a transcript in a copy-book on August 28th, 1848, and proceeded to the investigation of other bells in the neighbourhood. In the course of two years I had made a considerable collection from Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, and South Lincolnshire. Wherever I went I carried on the work; but undergraduate life and residence in Dorset and Kent prevented the county of Suffolk receiving very much attention till my college presented me to the Mastership of Bungay Grammar School in 1859, when I attacked at once the north-east of the county. During these eleven years I had become acquainted with Messrs. Ellacombe, Tyssen, Spelling, Lukis, and L'Estrange; and our comparison of discoveries was throwing much light on the history and interpretation of bell-marks.

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of England, but as yet there hardly exists an adequate manual of the subject; much that has been written being now out of date, or lacking in comprehensiveness, or marred by superficial and inaccurate treatment.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. The writer owes a special debt of gratitude to Mr. Francis Bond, the editor of this series, for the valuable assistance he has rendered in the collection of material and illustrations for the work, for help in the revision of the Ms. and proofs, and for many useful suggestions as to its form and appearance. The Rev. Canon Nolloth of Beverley has kindly revised the earlier chapters, and contributed much information of value. Thanks are also due to the Rev. Preb. Deedes of Chichester for assistance in compiling the bibliography, and to Mr. A. Hughes of the Whitechapel foundry for sundry useful information. The illustrations in the text are mainly taken from older publications, or from blocks and photographs in the possession of the writer.

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.

Download or read book The Church Bells of Huntingdonshire written by T. M. N. Owen and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church Bells of Huntingdonshire: Their Inscriptions, Founders, Uses, Traditions, Etc My prefatory words must be mainly those of acknowledgment. I am much indebted for the loan of wood blocks to Amherst D. Tyssen, D.C.L., and to Mr. Herbert L. North; without these indeed the work could hardly have been published. Also to the Rev. G. E. Sharland, vicar of Easton and Stow Longa, who, on divers occasions entertained me and drove me to various outlying churches, where he also materially aided my researches among the bells themselves. Also to the various incumbents who, whenever asked, have reported, as fully as they could, on the peculiar uses, etc., and have often allowed me to search the Parish Registers and Books; to the Rev. E. Tottenham and Miss A. E. M. Dagnall for skilful help in drawing sketches from casts and rubbings of stamps. The book has been a long time in coming out, but many wood blocks being elsewhere engaged, could not be obtained any sooner, and this represents a delay of six years in the publication. Owing, perhaps, to my being beneficed in this county, and that a small one, I have never had occasion to complain of "no answer," eventually to any letter of enquiry addressed to local authorities.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church Bells of Norfolk: Where, When, and by Whom They Were Made, With the Inscriptions on All the Bells in the County OT having any facts to add to, nor any fresh inferences to draw from, the stores of information regarding the origin of Bells, and the date of their introduction into the Christian temple, I propose to pass over this part of the subject without further notice; a course I the more readily adopt, because those who may desire such information will have no difficulty in ob taining it from any encyclopaedia. The object of these pages is to record the Inscriptions on the Bells of the Norfolk Churches; to Show by whom, at what time, and in what place they were cast; and by illustrations to convey, to those who rarely if ever ascend a belfry, some idea of the beauty and diversity of the bell-founders' alphabets, marks, and devices. Thus, it is hoped, some slight indication will be afforded of the religious feeling and the state of art and society at various periods of English history.
