Even if a tinker by trade, the bell-founder took a real pride and joy in his work. His trade-mark, his initial cross, the word-stops, the lettering it5elf, frequently rise to a very high artistic level. This is, of course, mainly true of mediaeval bells, but even in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries some founders were not destitute of taste, and adorned their bells with rich and vq.ried ornamental borders., or made use of devices which had come down to them from earlier. times. The lettering of this period is also frequently excellent of its kind, even if unpretending. · To deal first with the last-named subject, we find on mediaeval bells, from the beginning of the fourteenth century onwards, two varieties of lettering, Gothic capitals and black­ letter " smalls." The latter are used by themselves, or more frequently combined with initial Gothic capitals; this style is known as "Mixed Gothic." The use of capital letters through­ out is universal throughout the fourteenth century, and no instances of black-letter type can be traced further back thi111 about 1400. Though on the Continent it came earlier into use for inscriptions, it is seldom found anywhere in England before that date, except on a few brasses,l and these appear to be foreign importations.

The present volume is an attempt by one who has made our Church Bells his special study for over twenty years, to set forth within a convenient compass the more important aspects of a subject which from its many-sidedness and its still living interest appeals perhaps to a more extensive class of readers than any other branch of English archaeology. The writer owes a special debt of gratitude to Mr. Francis Bond, the editor of this series, for the valuable assistance he has rendered in the collection of material and illustrations for the work, for help in the revision of the MS.

  • Phd Thesis, University of Edinburgh, (1996)
    The Quantification of Strike Pitch and Pitch Shifts in Church Bells Thesis submitted by William A. Hibbert M.A. M.Sc. for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2008 Updated April 2008 Department of Design, Development, Environment and Materials Faculty of Mathematics, Computing and Technology The Open University Milton Keynes United Kingdom Abstract The primary objective of the work reported in this thesis was to quantify how the pitch or strike note of a bell is determined by the frequencies of its partials. Pitches of bells are generally virtual pitch or missing fundamental effects, generated in the ear rather than present as a frequency in the radiated sound. The exact pitch is shifted from that expected for the missing fundamental by changes in the frequency of various partials. This can cause bells whose partials are in theory tuned precisely, to sound out of tune by considerable fractions of a semitone. The pitch shifts were quantified at frequencies across the audible spectrum by a set of experiments carried out on 30 subjects. Subsidiary experiments established which partials create a bell’s pitch or pitches at different frequencies, and showed that partial amplitude does not significantly affect bell pitch. A simple model of pitch shift was devised from the test results which gave good agreement with the stretch tuning in a number of peals of bells. Stretch tuning has not previously been satisfactorily explained. The pitch shifts were also compared against Terhardt’s algorithm for virtual pitch, which did not predict the shifts seen in practice. To prepare for these experiments, a comprehensive investigation was done of the partial frequencies of over 2,000 bells with a wide range of dates, weights and founders.
