A PAIR of bells now claim our attention, Kesgrave bell, Iken, fourth. These bear a shield with the initials fl\. :a. (fig. 29) well-known Fig. 29. in many counties, though rare in Suffolk. I found it on the second at Cudham, Kent, in 1857· It is also known at Little Gransden, and Rampton, Cambridgeshire, at Llandcwednack, the parish in which the Lizard 1s situated, at S. Mary's, Bedford, Anstey, Hertfordshire, East Dean, Sussex, Paulerspury, North­ amptonshire, and other places-most notably of all at the E 34 TilE 'CHURCH DELLS OF SUFFOLK. grand old church of S. Bartholomew-the-Great, Smithfield, where there is a complete and melodious little ring of five of this make, which has happily survived the Great Fire of London. The best instance of all for our purpose is the fifth at Vv eeley in Essex, with a prayer for the souls of William and Agnes Brooke. There seems to be only one Agnes Brooke of this district, to whose will a reference can be found at Somerset House. The wills themselves are lost, but the indexes remain, and from them it may be computed that Agnes Brooke died in iso6 or 1507. This tallies well with the Bullisdon, whom Mr. Amherst Tyssen records as casting bells in London in 1510.* T he arms of Robert Billesdon, who was Lord Mayor of London in 1483, are no help to us. There was a Thomas Bullisdon, who represented the city in Parliament in 1492. T. in the middle ages is almost sure to stand for Thomas, and very possibly the founder of the Kesgrave bell and the Iken fourth was Thomas Bullisdon, soa of this Thomas. But we know. nothing more about him, and can tell no interesting stories as in the case of Henry Jordan. Sometimes his bells bear the fancy cross (fig. 30), which suggests connection with Danyell and Jurden. Fig. 30. The following eleven bells :­ Boxford, seventh, Bradfield Combust, second, • Ckurc/1.

They are the handiwork of a man whose usual shield (fig. 31) bearing three mullets in chief, and a crescent in base, .· Fig. 31. below a chevron, is found in all the named towers, save Bradfield and Saxmundham. On the Bratlfield bell and the Saxmund­ ham fifth appear the emblems of the four evangelists (figs. 32, 33, 34, 35), which appear at Impington, Cambridgeshire, and Fig. 32. Fig. 33· • This last is a good bell, weighing about 22 cwt. THE CHURCH BELLS OF SUFFOLK. Fig. 34· Fig. 35· elsewhere in conjunction with the shield just named. The initial crosses, of which figs. 36, 37 arc examples, vary, as does the lettering, which at Sudbury is remarkably large and forcible. The resemblance between the shield and the arms of Sir Henry Fig. 36. Fig. 37• Kcbyll, citizen and grocer, Lord Mayor in 1510, leads Mr. 1 Stahlschmidt to assign the bells ' provisionally" to one of the Kebyll family, and he finds in the accouuts of S. Stephen's, vValbrook, for 1480, payments amounting to £s 6s. 8d. for bell­ hanging to John Kebyll, wheelwright. The arms of the Lord Mayor of ISIO are given in Wright's Heylin without the cres­ cent, but variations in these points arc very common in the bourgeois heraldry of tbat time. It is more than likely that evidence will turn up to confirm Mr. Stahlschmidt's conjecture. These bells may be found in different parts of England> but in no great abundance. Like North Suffolk, Norfolk is destitute of them. I found two at Mumby, Lincolnshire, in 1855, and PL11E ill. Jl'ig. 39· ~~ ·/~~~ - (Y""- Fig. 42 • f ig. 4J. 1 1 ( ~~ Fog. 44• LO:;I>ON ''lARK S.

Stahlschmidt's Clmrclt Bells of Kmt, but so far as we know there arc none in the western counties, and certainly there arc none in the Diocese of Peter­ borough. Suffolk is as far above the average with these bells as it is with William Dawe's. 'We know as yet of no medi::eval foundry in Essex, and the Londoners having there a " happy hunting-ground," readily crossed the Stour and did business against r\or.vich, penetrating, in the case of Henry Jordan, on one occasion quite to the north of that city. Other London marks are given opposite (figs. 38-44). The most attractive of the London foundry-shields is that of our last ante-Reformation craftsman, \Villiam Culverden (fig. 45), a rebus which I guessed wrong. Further investigation by Fig. 45· Mr. T ysscn set me right. His bells arc very rare, so rare that I give after the Suffolk pair, Stratford, S.

A few more may perhaps turn up in the home counties and the 1\Iidlands. The Dorset bell is at present the sole contribu­ tion of the west. He was at work only from I 5 10 to I 523, which probably accounts for the paucity of his specimens. The shield is in many ways a great curiosity, and the ingenuity of my readers may be put to a test, as the meanings of the trefoil and monogram at the foot are not yet clear. Round the bell, which bears the word .Jon~ (Founder), arc the opening words of' Psalm xi., Jn ~no (Jl;nfi ~o (In the Lord put I my trust), which were often used by our forefathers as a motto, especially at the outset of any business. Though 1 cannot recall the instance, I feel sure that at the beginning of one of the MSS. of a medi<eval Chronicle these words occur, coupled with J\.zzit iW rinc:ipio glc.mcfa ~~tcn;ia gUco. Now this very pentameter occurs on one of William Cui­ verden's bells, viz., that at Takely, Essex, which I therefore feel justified in regarding as his earliest. When the Reformation came in, this pentameter went out, but its place was taken by the word Emmanuel, which used to be written at the head of letters. I may be excused for enlarging on this, as it illustrates a place otherwise obscure in Shakespeare's Henry VI. That the fact is as 1 have stated is shown by a letter of i\Tr. William Carnsewe to" Customer Smyth" (purchaser of metals to Queen Elizabeth), dated 15 January, 1583, which is headed "In te diie, in te diie speram' nos Emanucll. In diio Confide."* Now for the Shakespearian illustration. The "clerk" of Chatham is brought before Jack Cade, charged with the crime • T!u Smdlin,r of Copper i11 So11th Wales, by Col. Grant·Francis. See also "ln the Old Mttniment of \\'olla!on Hall," Part II., Ntw R~vi'r.u, December, 1889. A REBUS GUESSED. 39 of being able to read and write and cast accompt. The enor­ mity of these charges was further enhanced by his name. " Cade. What is thy name, sirrah? Clerk. Emanuel. Cade (reflecting). They use to write it at the head of letters. 'Twill go hard with you." Having thus treated of the use of Psalm xi. i., we tum to the essence of tl1e rebus, the bird with Lie (den) over it. Now those versed in ornithology may scrutinize the feathered biped diligently. It rather resembles the little birds in a child's "Noah Ark," but it is meant for a culver, or pigeon, and thus the riddle of the rebus was read. A rebus is a picture-riddle, such as an Ash-tree on a Tun for ~shton, a l\1ill on a Tun for Milton, &c. The difficulty of. producing a "den " must be the composer's excuse for not completing his rebus. The word "culver" for a wood-pigeon or dove is no doubt a corruption from colmnba, and was apparently not extinct in the west of England at the end of the last century. I must linger a little over this delicious old Engljsh word. We find it in the f!lick!iJJg Homilzi:s,• not later than A.D. 971, where our Lord addresses the Virgin Mary as "min culufre." In a Bestiary of the thirteenth centuryt we have a Jesson drawn from the nature of the bird.

  • The St. Mary-Le-Tower Society
    The St. Mary-le-Tower Society The bells of St. Mary-le-Tower are amongst the best known in Britain. St. Mary-le-Tower, or St. Mary at the Tower to give it its proper name, takes its name from its proximity to a tower on the town walls. The tower and walls are long since gone and the only remnants today are nearby street names like Tower Street and Tower Ramparts. The aim of this document is to give all known details of the bells that have rung out from the Tower. I also hope to provide an insight into the tremendous ringers, whose goings on have left St. Mary-le-Tower steeped in history, for there was a time that the St. Mary-le-Tower Society were the most accomplished company in the land. On beginning research, I also decided on a secondary aim for this article. Throughout the years there has been a considerable amount of information published about St. Mary-le- Tower. However, some of it is simply wrong. In places I have chosen to point out these incorrect facts and in others I have decided to leave it out for now as this is only an early draft. I hope to provide a valuable insight into the true history of ringing at our wonderful church: St. Mary-le-Tower. I hope you enjoy reading the article. The Early Days There were only five bells and a Sanctus bell present in the tower in 1553. The treble and tenor were then recast by Miles Graye I of Colchester in 1607 and 1610 respectively.

  • The Bells of St. Peter, Sudbury
    The Bells of St. Peter, Sudbury What a gloriously wild and stirring sound the bells make as they ring out over the town. Ringers from around the world often visit the tower and all comment on the fine sound and their enjoyment in ringing these bells. Over hundreds of years the bells have rung out for weddings, funerals, services of all kinds and to mark the great events of history. St. Peter’s must have had bells from early times. In a will, dated 1376 there is reference to hanging the great bell in St. Peter’s Chapel. This reference may relate to a previous building but there is a small chance that it gives an indication of the date of construction of the present tower. The eighth bell – John – one of the Kebyll bells From 1457 bequests were made towards the founding of new bells and certainly three of the present bells date from about 1470. These three historic bells were made by Kebyll of London. In 1553 a return tells of there being five bells in the tower, although this is something of a mystery as the additional two bells are not found in the tower today. It is possible that they ‘migrated’ to another tower. By the nineteenth century the number of bells had risen to six, with additions in 1605, 1641 and 1662. Perhaps the most well known escapade related to the bells took place in March 1863, when the Rector, Canon Molyneux, forbade the customary peal of bells in honour of the marriage of the Prince of Wales.

We have never had so much material offered before. This has meant that not everything could be fitted in, so apologies if your article has not appeared this time. We are particularly pleased to include Crawford Allen’s account of the augmentation of Elmsett bells from two to soon-to-be five. This has been a remarkable low cost achievement involving second hand bells, one even bought on ebay, and local fundraising and, of course, support from the Guild. Last November, while the winter issue of this publication was being finalised, there were several notable ringing achievements which just missed being reported: Richard Knight rang his 500 th peal. This was Bristol Surprise Major at Bures. David Howe rang his 100 th peal when he rang Kent Treble Bob Major at Ixworth. Tom Scase rang his 250 th quarter peal as conductor at Brandeston where the band rang Norwich Surprise Minor. Congratulations to them all.
