N and S reversed on 7th. Service bell (formerly the 4th) by John of Gloucester c. 1340-1350. Sanctus bell probably of no great antiquity. I have however a note from some un­ known source that it is mediaeval and has a triple beading round the shoulder resembling an ancient bell at Woolhope, Herefordshire. Down to 1887 there were only six bells. When the ring was restored in commemoration of the Jubilee the old 4th was taken out of the ring to ensure its preservation, and is now only used for tolling for services. The new 5th takes its place, and the treble and tenor were added to make eight. The clappers of the old bells are kept in the church. Tenor weighs 21 cwt., the 7th bell19 cwt. See Church Bells, 8 July 1887. Sir John Savage was the eldest son of William Savage of Elmley Castle (q.v.) who inherited the estate in 1616 and died in 1623. 1552 : ' MocHE MALVERNE. iiij bellss in the steple a saunce bell a lytle sacrynge bell.' 1740 : ' 6 Bells.' Prattinton has a note from Cole's MSS., dated 1746: - "The Tower . has Bells remaining in it; 3 others, as I was informed by the Clark, were sold some 50 or 60 years ago to St. Mary Overy's Church in London." (see Brit. Mus. Add. MSS., 5811, p. 119). Stahlschmidt in his Surrey Bells, under St. Saviour's, Southwark, makes no reference to this trans­ action, of which there is apparently no other record. The Southwark bells date from 1735, so those referred to must have been then recast. V.O.H. Wares., iv. p. 131. H.B.W., 1905. MALVERN, GREAT. Christ Church. Two bells.

By the same founder as the service bell at Great Malvern, probably John of Gloucester, c. 1350. NS of DOMINVS with contraction-mark; V of TECVM inverted. There is no present means of access to the bell except by a ladder to the roof of the church and another hauled up from below into the lower stage of the tower. The bell was visited by Mr. L. B. Clarence many years ago, and Mr. A. D. Tyssen also had a rubbing (reproduced in Fig. 160) which is now at the Society of Antiquaries. Mr. Clarence also notes that the cross is plain, and the lettering larger than at Great Malvern; Mr. Tyssen gives the R of GRACIA as inverted. 1552 : 'ij small bells whereof on is not our own.' 1740: '1 bell.' It would be interesting to know which of the 'ij small bells' has been preserved. V.C.H. Worcs. iii, p. 453, where it is stated that after the suppression of the Priory the parishioners made suit to the King for the five bells which served for the parish and the monastery, and were worth £45 Os. 6£d. (Reg. G. Giffard, 165 in Worcs. Hist. Soc. Series) Hence a local tradition that there were once five and that four were removed by Thomas Crom­ well. 171 MAMBLE.

Cf. also Cookhill Priory (s.v. Ink­ berrow). 1740: ' 2 Bells.' V.C.H. Wares. iv. p. 138. H.B.W., 1900. Thanks to Rev. F . 0. Gascoigne, formerly Rector. MARTI..EY.

The sanctus bell is by an otherwise unknown founder, who may be a descendant of the 17th century Greenes of Worcester. See Fig. 163. On the 2nd the 7 of the date is inverted ; on the 5th the N of KEENE is reversed. 1740: '5 Bells.' V.C.H. Wares. iv. p. 295. The Rev. J. F. Hastings wrote (8 Oct. 1900) : ' Our Church Bells at Martley are in some ways a unique peal. All cast by Keene of Woodstock in 1673 and none ever broken or cracked. They are six, tenor 14 cwt. in E, a beautiful bell.' H.B.W., 1921, and many thanks to Rev. J. F. Hastings. MATRON. St. John Baptist. 6+1 bells. 1. PEACE & GOOD NEIGHBOURHOOD (bell) 1760 (scrolls) 2.

Note the variation in the usual formula on the tenor ; also Rudhall's curious anonymity. Abel Rudhall died this year, and possibly the bells were cast by an assistant in the period before Thomas took over the business. Sanctus bell by John Martin (small lettering); hung above the rest and awkward to reach.

    St Mary the Virgin Buckland a Guide to Our Church

    St Mary the Virgin Buckland a guide to our church PREFACE In 1975/1976 Richard Copus, who was then a student at Buckland College, compiled a comprehensive survey incorporating an account of the Architectural, Structural and Social history of Buckland church. His work provided both the stimulus for the first booklet and the greater part of its contents. This third edition incorporates additional information that has since come to light as well as more recent changes in the fabric of the church. A glossary and explanation of heraldic terms used herein has also been included. Richard Copus made extensive use of Charles Keyser's article in the Berkshire Archaeological Journal of January 1907, which included many interesting photographs of the church around 1900. Copus also made acknowledgements to the following: Professor J.R.Harding's lectures on the History of Buckland given in the village in 1951 Andrew S.N.Wright, 'A History of Buckland', 1966 The Berkshire Record Office, Reading The Throckmorton Family Archives at Coughton Court, Warwickshire Notes by the Rev J Capron (Vicar 1963 - 1971) To which the following should be added: ASHMOLE, Elias, 'History and Antiquities of Berkshire' with Notes by Henry Hinton 1811 - 1813 ARCHAEOLOGICAL JOURNALS, Bucks, Berks & Oxon 1907 DIOCESAN ECCLESIASTICAL PAPERS FARMER, David Hugh, 'The Oxford Dictionary of Saints' 1978 HALL, James, 'Dictionary of Subjects & Symbols on Art' 1974 HARRIS, C.G.
