Coleman File – 02 : Chapters X to XVII Pages 96 to 186 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 X DIFFERENT USES OF CHURCH BELLS The important part which the church bell played in the lives of the people of Old England is perhaps best shown by the number of ways in which church bells were used. A quaint old writer thus briefly states their uses: To can the fold to church in time, We chime. When joy and mirth are on the wing, We ring. When we lament a departed soul, We toll. Church bells not only called the people to the various services of the church, but also rang for different parts of the service, reminded the people of the different days in the church year and the anni­ versaries that were to be remembered, announced the hours of the day, and told of the important things that happened in the community.' lA rich parish took pride in having separate bells. distinct in tone. for the different uses. These bells were put in different places about the church and were called by different Latin names. according to their uses. Here are some of the names given to distinguish the different bells: The cam pana was the big bell that hung in the steeple and called the people to church. It was called cam-pane from the name of the city in Italy where lived the bishop who first used a big church bell.

  • Kenzō Tange Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum 1949-55 (Showa Period)
    Kenzō Tange Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum 1949-55 (Showa period) Key facts: • Location: Hiroshima Prefecture, Honshu Island, Japan • Size: 10.514m in length x 6.498m in height, 1,400 square metres • Materials: Reinforced concrete and glass 1. ART HISTORICAL TERMS AND CONCEPTS Traditionally, memorials to war mourn the dead and are designed and constructed by the victors with patriotic, nationalistic and even sacred overtones. Kenzō Tange’s Peace Memorial Museum in the Hiroshima Peace Park was built after the 1945 US bombing of the city and marks the beginning of a new direction in twentieth century commemoration: to commemorate peace. Funded by the Japanese state – then still under occupation by the US, it was both a painful reminder of destruction, and a hopeful monument to a peaceful future. Classical Architectural Traditions Tange’s design for mass commemoration looked to past communities. He studied ancient Greek agora, and the processional space leading to the Parthenon on the Acropolis as well as the processional routes in Rome from those of the ancients to Michelangelo’s for their axial symmetry and sense of social spectacle. Modernist Architecture Modernist Architecture also known as the Modern Style or the International Style emerged in the 1920s throughout Europe to reflect the new industrialised machine age, using steel, reinforced concrete and glass. Major architects associated with it were Walter Gropius, who founded the Bauhaus, and Le Corbusier (1887-1966), both of whom believed architecture was part of a social revolution to improve people’s lives through the new philosophy of Art History in Schools CIO | Registered Charity No.
