The crowned capitals are the upper set on Plate XI. ; the initial cross is No. 1, and the other one is No. 7, on that Plate ; his initials are in the smaller lettering on the same Plate, separated by a coin (see fig. 14); the fourth bell at Thrapstone, Northampts, is similarly inscribed. Tenor: by the third Richard Chandler, in his one-inch lettering (p. 227); has been turned, and the crown-staple broken. Saunce : evidently by Thomas Mears II. ; cast without the side ( = double) canons ; iron lever (in place of wheel). A third bell (Tenor, the cage being one inch wider than that of the existing tenor), was sold within living memory. It was cracked, and was used in that con- dition for Several years, but the authorities being ridiculed on account of it, at last sold it. 1 553, iij great belle &* one faunfe bell. 2 Auguft, 1637, 3 Bells S'; bell the fleeple wants pgeting .

  • Jim Wheeler's Remarkable Wooden Clapper
    Jim Wheeler’s remarkable wooden clapper. On Christmas Day 2004, just after 10 o’clock while we were ringing for the Cathedral’s main service, we heard the dreaded crash and the tenor was silent. It is a sound familiar to lots of towers with heavy bells. The tenor clapper had broken just three years previously and soon after that a gudgeon on the eleventh had to be replaced. The bells being out of action was inconvenient as the Cathedral’s bells are now rung more as part of Cathedral and civic life. Eyre and Smith moved quickly and the tenor clapper was replaced under their guarantee and arrived in February. However, we were able to ring the tenor again the next day. Losing the tenor’s clapper would normally have meant that we could not ring the 12 bells open on New Year’s Day. However, a few months earlier Jim Wheeler had welded an old, broken, cast iron (SG) tenor clapper as a precaution. We don’t like the bells to be out of action. This was the beginning of his experiments with clappers and Jim’s eventual solution: a tenor clapper with a wooden shaft. We put the welded clapper in the tenor thinking we might get a few rounds and then hear the dreaded crash again. What happened was remarkable. First the clapper didn’t break. It lasted until Eyre and Smiths’ remodelled and significantly better replacement arrived in February, and it was rung for over 6000 changes, including a quarter peal. Not only did the clapper work, the bell sounded different.

  • Tokens Found in Haddenham, Cambridgeshire, and a Seventeenth-Century Issuer
    TOKENS FOUND IN HADDENHAM, CAMBRIDGESHIRE, AND A SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY ISSUER M.J. BONSER AND R.H. THOMPSON, with contributions by C.F. BESTER THE Revd. William Cole, the Cambridge antiquary (1714-82), owned extensive property in Haddenham in the south-west of the Isle of Ely, and two tokens found there are illustrated and described in vol. 32 of his manuscript collections.1 A. Garden of William Symonds, -1768. The first 'was dug up in a Garden belonging to me at Hadenham in the Isle of Ely, & given to me by my Tenant Wm Symonds in January 1768'. The second was 'found at Hadenham & given me as above 1768'. The wording in both cases leaves the date of finding open to doubt, but if not actually in 1768 it was presumably not long before. Cole's father had purchased several hundred acres including five tenements, to which the antiquary himself added two closes;- and the location of William Symonds's garden must remain uncertain, although it was probably in the hamlet of Aldreth, adjoinjng Ewell Fen in which Cole's farm Frog Hall was situated (a farmhouse and several cottages in Aldreth were associated with Frog Hall Farm until about 1944). 1. Nuremberg Rechenmeister jetton or Schulpfennig; second half of the sixteenth century. Similar to No. 20 below, but alphabet with G reversed and no additional letters; not illustrated. 2. Seventeenth-century token; c. 1660. Obv. IAMES PARTRICH OF around a mitre; surname appears as 'RICH'. Rev. ROOYSTON VINTNER around letter P above IC. Williamson,3 Hertfordshire 165 or 166; probably 165, on which a flaw developed across the first part of the surname; not illustrated.

    Manx Bells by R. W. M. Clouston File 01: The Entire Book This document is provided for you by The Whiting Society of Ringers visit www.whitingsociety.org.uk for the full range of publications and articles about bells and change ringing MANX BELLS Ranald W M. Clouston BSc Eng FSA PUBLISHED PRIVATELY 7986 2 Feltham and Wright in their tour of the Isle of Man in the summer of 1797 made sketrhes of the churches they visited; these all show open bellcotes and quite small bells. At that time Kirk Patrick was ruinous and had no bell; St. Patrick's Church in Peel Castle, Kirk Braddan, Kirk Marown and Kirk Halew each had double bellcotes with two small bells. The remainder had only small single bells. Some of these have survived, but none were cast earlier than the 18th Century. The larger bell at Kirk Braddan Old Church, 23'1,, inches diameter, bears the date 1780 incised on the shoulder. This fabric was re-erected in 1773 on the site of a much older church. The bell bears a normal arrangement of moulding wires, six canons and an argent. While incised dates and inscript­ ions can be put on a bell at any time after casting, the details of the bell do support 1780 as the likely casting date. Probably from an English foundry, as the design shows that the founder was quite used to casting bells and moulding the quite intricate canons and argent, the loops on the crown. The companion bell, 17~ inches diameter, is a little later, say 1800; there are no moulding wires on the shoulder or by the inscription band, and though there are argent and six rectangular section canons, the moulder has made a mistake in putting the cast-in crown staple, which supports the clap­ per, 90° out compared with the canons.

  • St Peter's Cambridge Guide
    CHURCH OF ST PETER off Castle Street, Cambridge 1 West Smithfield London EC1A 9EE Tel: 020 7213 0660 Fax: 020 7213 0678 Email: [email protected] £2.50 www.visitchurches.org.uk Registered Charity No. 258612 Spring 2007 off Castle Street, Cambridge CHURCH OF ST PETER by Lawrence Butler (Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, formerly Head of the Department of Archaeology, Leeds University, and archaeological consultant to Lincoln, Sheffield and Wakefield cathedrals) INTRODUCTION The church and churchyard of St Peter offer an oasis of calm amid the rush of commuter traffic along Castle Street leading to Huntingdon and Histon roads and the steady throb of orbital traffic on Northampton Street. The mature limes and horse chestnuts provide a green island closely surrounded by housing, though the names of Honey Hill and Pound Green recall a more rural past. During the spring and early summer it is a colourful haven of wild flowers. This church has always been set in a poor neighbourhood and Castle End has a definite country feel to it. The domestic architecture, whether of the 17th century on either side of Northampton Street, or of more recent building in local style and materials in Honey Hill, all contribute to this rural atmosphere, unlike the grander buildings of the colleges in the centre of the city. In the middle years of the 20th century St Peter’s was known as the Children’s Church, and more recently it has been supported by a loyal band of friends and helpers who have cherished the tranquillity of this building – the smallest medieval church in Front cover: Exterior from the south-east Cambridge.
