In the preceding paper, and among the bells in this Appendix, mention has been made of the Royal Tudor Arms with a crown over (Fig. ] 1 3). These stamps having been found all over England, it has been supposed that they were the work of a London founder. The mystery has now been cleared up in a Paper by J. W. Clark, M.A., lately iiul)lished by the Cambridge Antiquarian Society, "' on the " Five Ancient Bells formerly belonging to Kmg's College, Cambridge," where they were set up in 14()G, supplied fi'om London by Henry Jurdon. In the accounts the name of Thouiivs Harry's of London, a bell founder, occurs in 1478, and in 1482 the name of John Han-ison. The bells, some being crncked, were disestablished and sold in 175G to Lester and Pack of Whitecluipel, London, at four guineas per cwt. The sum realized was £533 10s. 3d. which was invested in 3 per cent. Bank Annuities for the benefit of the College. Mention also is made of " Danyell, founder of London," 1458-9. Also in 1500, Thomas Chyi-che of Bury S. Edmund's was employed to recast the second bell, and in 1598 Mag. Nicholson exchanged the second and third bells, and recast the fifth. In a deed found by Mr. Robeit Dymond, one John Cherk, bellfounder. was living in Southgate Street, Exeter, in 1552. By a record preserved in the muniment njom of the College the following were the diameter-s of the bells : No. Inches. No. Inches. 1 - 37i 4 - 561 2 - 45f 5 - 63| 3 - 50 The mscriptions are also fortunately preserved in a drawing carefully made in 1753, and engraved in Mr. Clark's paper, quite sufficient to shew on the first and fifth the Tudor Arms and Crown, and also the very * Cambridge Anti(|uanan Society's Transactions, Part iii, Vol. rv, 1879.

On the third bell were the Royal Heads, so frequently found in Gloucestershire. NEW BELLS IN THE COUNTY. At St. George's, six new bells have been supplied l)y Llewellyn and James of Bristol. The tenor weighs IR cwt. The names of the foiuiders are on each bell, and this inscription is on the third : — These Bells were erected by public subscription through the undermentioned Committee.
