IN THE Eastern Counties.

COMPILED BY Rev. WILLIAM C. PEARSON (Vicar of Henley, Co. Suffolk).

IPSWICH: SMITHS, SUITALL PRJ!:SS. 1910. PREFACE.

My chief object in compiling the following particulars has been to supply the ringers of the Eastern Counties ·with some reliable information about the principal rings of Bells in their districts ; more particularly as to their weights ; for it not unfrequently happens that when an account of a Peal that has been rung appears in print, the weight of the Tenor Bell is given incorrectly. The dates and founders' names have for the most part been taken from the County volumes of " Church Bells " already published ; but I must gratefully acknowledge the kind assistance given me by Messrs. J. W. & E. D. Taylor, of the Loughborough Bell Foundry; Mr. A. Hughes (Mears and Stainbank), of Whitechapel; and Mr. Robert Warner Marriage (J. Warner & Sons), of the Crescent Foundry, Spelman Street, E.C.; also that of the various incumbents and ringers who have supplied me with measurements, &c.

Henley Vicarage, WM. C. PEARSON. Nov. 16th, 1910.

~.B.-All the rings of eight bells and upwards in the Eastern Counties are included in the following pages. The columns of inches denote the diameter of each bell at its mouth. Where it has proved impossible to ascertain the weight of a bell it has been carefully estimated from its diameter, &c. c Before a date denotes that it is .approximate. THE PRINCIPAL RINGS OF BELLS

Deede's & Walter's "Church Bells of Essex," it seems unnecessary to record them here. APPENDIX. . ONE HUNDRED PEALS
