St Luke's Farnworth BELL CASTING
St Luke’s Farnworth BELL CASTING by Geoffrey Poole In the earliest days they were cast in different sizes to produce different notes but no attempt was made to tune bells until the 16th Century with the advent of change ringing. In those times bells were roughly tuned – where the inside of the bell or the edge of the lip was chipped away with a hammer and chisel – eight bells could be tuned to an octave of eight notes. Some deprived communities used a hagiosideron, a shaped piece of metal which was struck in a similar way to a bell. Also again due to lack of money bellcotes were used instead of costly towers. A bell-cot, bell-cote or bellcote is a small framework and shelter for one or more bells. Bellcotes are most common in church architecture but are also seen on institutions such as schools. The bellcote may be carried on brackets projecting from a wall or built on the roof of chapels or churches that have no towers. The bellcote often holds the Sanctus bell that is rung at the consecration of the Eucharist. Bellcote is a compound noun of the words bell and cot or cote. Bell is self-explanatory. The word cot or cote is Old English, from the Germanic. It means a shelter of some kind, especially for birds or animals (see dovecote), a shed, or stall. Examples of bellcotes In order St Luke’s Farnworth Bell-cot at St Edmund's Church, Church Road, Wootton, Isle of Wight, England Church of England parish church of St Alban the Martyr, CharlesStreet, Oxford.

A New History of the Carillon
A New History of the Carillon TIFFANY K. NG Rombouts, Luc. Singing Bronze: A History of Carillon Music. Translated by Com- municationwise. Leuven: Leuven University Press, 2014, 368 pp. HE CARILLON IS HIDDEN IN plain sight: the instrument and its players cannot be found performing in concert halls, yet while carillonneurs and Tkeyboards are invisible, their towers provide a musical soundscape and focal point for over six hundred cities, neighborhoods, campuses, and parks in Europe, North America, and beyond. The carillon, a keyboard instrument of at least two octaves of precisely tuned bronze bells, played from a mechanical- action keyboard and pedalboard, and usually concealed in a tower, has not received a comprehensive historical treatment since André Lehr’s The Art of the Carillon in the Low Countries (1991). A Dutch bellfounder and campanologist, Lehr contributed a positivist history that was far-ranging and thorough. In 1998, Alain Corbin’s important study Village Bells: Sound and Meaning in the Nineteenth-Century French Countryside (translated from the 1994 French original) approached the broader field of campanology as a history of the senses.1 Belgian carillonneur and musicologist Luc Rombouts has now compiled his extensive knowledge of carillon history in the Netherlands, Belgium, and the United States, as well as of less visible carillon cultures from Curaçao to Japan, into Singing Bronze: A History of Carillon Music, the most valuable scholarly account of the instrument to date. Rombouts’s original Dutch book, Zingend Brons (Leuven: Davidsfonds, 2010), is the more comprehensive version of the two, directed at a general readership in the Low Countries familiar with carillon music, and at carillonneurs and music scholars.

Conservation and Repair of Bells and Bellframes
bell.cover 1/11/07 16:58 Page 2 CONSERVATION AND MISSION Bells have been rung in English churches for over 1,000 years and examples dating from the 13th century can still be seen in some parishes. Historic bells, and the frames they hang in, are an important part of the Church’s heritage and should be cared for appropriately. As well as being historically significant, church bells are musical instruments and many are hung in peals for change ringing, an almost uniquely English musical tradition. This booklet gives guidance on the proper care and conservation of bells and bellframes and encourages the continuing use of church bells to announce public worship. The Council for the Care of Churches is a permanent commission of the Archbishops’ Council of the Church of England. It has a range of statutory responsibilities, and also assists parishes in their task of maintaining church buildings. It advises on the conservation of church furnishings, administers grants from the Conservation charitable trusts for their conservation, and also advises parishes on new works of art. Its range of booklets gives and repair of bells advice to all those concerned with the care of churches, their contents and churchyards. and bellframes Code of Practice www.chpublishing.co.uk £6.95 conservation.text 1/11/07 16:44 Page i the Conservation and repair of bells and bellframes Code of Practice conservation.text 1/11/07 16:44 Page ii Other titles published for the Council for the Care of Churches by Church House Publishing: Church Extensions and Adaptations, 2nd

MORTARS C. 1300-1850
PHARMACEUTICAL HISTORY AND ITS SOURCES IN THE WELLCOME COLLECTIONS V. COMMINUTION AND ENGLISH BELL-METAL MORTARS c. 1300-1850 by J. K. CRELLIN AND D. A. HUTTON THE APPAR14TLY simple operation of grinding drugs has many facets not generally appreciated. Part I of this paper draws attention to some of these, and Part II deals with the widely collected English bell-metal mortars. PART I Though the mortar is now recognized as a special symbol of pharmacy, for much ofits long history it is impossible, as Langland's fourteenth-century allusion indicates, to separate its culinary and medical usage: As her sauce w ... unsavourly grounde in a morter, post mortem ofmany bitter payne.1 Certainly, culinary use was widespread, and the bulk of mortars manufactured must have been intended for kitchen use. Nevertheless, large numbers were undoubtedly used in pharmacy alone, where their obvious importance in pharmaceutical practice, and the opportunities that many of them afforded (by their size and decoration) for demonstrating the owner's wealth, contributed to their role as a pharmaceutical symbol.2 This use as a symbol was all the more appropriate in that the grinding of drugs was often much more than merely reducing hard compact drugs to manageable powders. For instance, according to Renodaeus in 1657, drugs were triturated for three chief reasons: 'First that they may be exactly mixed with others. Secondly, 1William Langland, Piers Plowman, Book XIII, p. 44. Early English pictorial evidence of the mortar in culinary and pharmaceutical usage is scarce, but for an interesting example showing a mortar similar to Wellcome mortar number 1, see the fourteenth-cetury English medical text, Sloane MS.

Bells of All Nations
Bells of All Nations by Ernest Morris File 02 – Part one, Chapters I to VII – Pages 1 to 54 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 CHAPTER I Origin and Development THE ORIGIN OF BELLS TOOK place in those distant days when man began primitively and tentatively to work and to hammer metals. His early impressions would be that malleable copper beaten into a saucer-like shape had a resonancy when struck, which intrigued his rudimentary feeling for music. In the Bronze Age, when the melting and mixing of copper and tin became prevalent, the increase in resonance and tonal power of the cast bronze instrument over the hammered copper one would become apparent ; and we may consider that in the Bronze Age the bell began its career. The Saucer-shape was probably the earliest form of bell-but the spherical hollow type is also ancient, small in size, with holes here and there, and having a little ball of metal rolling loose therein. These are called crotals-meaning rattle-and of this shape presumably were the golden Bells which were commanded to be made for the adornment of the Ephod of Aaron. 1 In media:val days too, a similar method arose of adorning the vestments of the Christian priesthood. , We have notices of several magnificent robes which were thus dec-orated. Conrad, Abbot of Canterbury, had a cope fringed with one hundred and forty little silver bells ; and fifty-one of silver gilt tinkled round the cope of Lanfranc.
