YORK MINSTER showing the forming of a mould. (See page 45). CHURCH BELLS OF ENGLAND BY H. B. WALTERS, M.A., P.S.A. JOINT-EDITOR OF " CHURCH BELI.S OF ESSEX " AND "church bells OF WARWICKSHIRE" Illustrated by 170 Photographs and Drawings HENRY FROWDE OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS LONDON, NEW YORK, TORONTO, AND ^MELBOURNE 1912 PREFACE Many books have already been published on the subject of Church Bells, and in particular those of England, but as yet there hardly exists an adequate manual of the subject ; much that has been written being now out of date, or lacking in comprehensiveness, or marred by superficial and inaccurate treatment. 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. and proofs, and for many useful suggestions as to its form and appearance. The Rev. Canon Nolloth of Beverley has kindly revised the earlier chapters, and contributed much information of value. Thanks are also due to the Rev. Preb. Deedes of Chichester for assistance in compiling the bibliography, and to Mr. A. Hughes of the Whitechapel foundry for sundry useful inr formation. The illustrations in the text are mainly taken from older publications, or from blocks and photographs in the possession of the writer. He has also to thank the Trustees of the British Museum for the loan of a block ; Mr. W. R. Lethaby for per- VI PREFACE mission to use an illustration from his Westminster Abbey ; and Mr. A. H. Cocks for similar permission in regard to the specimens of lettering from the plates of his Church Bells of Buckinghamshire. The Rev. D. H. S. Cranage has also kindly sanctioned the use of two views of churches from his Churches of Shropshire. For the half-tone illustrations blocks have been courteously supplied by Messrs. Mears & Stainbank, Messrs. Warner, and the Rev. G. E. Belcher of Chaldon ; also by the proprietors of the Children's Magazine and by the Record Press Company. To the following also, who have furnished photographs, grateful acknowledgments must be made : The Rev. I. W. Charlton (Snettisham) ; the Rev. Canon Nolloth and Mr. Goulding (Beverley) ; Mr. Francis Bond ; Mr. F. T. S. Houghton ; Mr. F. Jenkins (Southwold) ; Mr. A. G. Wright (Colchester); and the bell-founding firms of Mears & Stainbank, Taylor, and Warner. TABLE OF CONTENTS chapter page Preface v Bibliography ix I. Historical Introduction i II.

    Church Bells. Part 1. Rev. Robert Eaton Batty

    CHURCH BELLS BY THE REV. ROBERT EATON BATTY, M.A. The Church Bell — what a variety of associations does it kindle up — how closely is it connected with the most cherished interests of mankind! And not only have we ourselves an interest in it, but it must have been equally interesting to those who were before us, and will pro- bably be so to those who are yet to come. It is the Churchman's constant companion — at its call he first enters the Church, then goes to the Daily Liturgy, to his Con- firmation, and his first Communion. Is he married? — the Church bells have greeted him with a merry peal — has he passed to his rest? — the Church bells have tolled out their final note. From a very early period there must have been some contrivance, whereby the people might know when to assemble themselves together, but some centuries must have passed before bells were invented for a religious purpose. Trumpets preceded bells. The great Day of Atonement amongst the Jews was ushered in with the sound of the trumpet; and Holy Writ has stamped a solemn and lasting character upon this instrument, when it informs us that "The Trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised." The Prophet Hosea was com- manded to "blow the cornet in Gibeah and the trumpet in Ramah;" and Joel was ordered to "blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm." The cornet and trumpet seem to be identical, as in the Septuagint both places are expressed by σαλπισατε σαλπιγγι.

Figure 2 shows the profile we used with the relative thickness variations between the inner and outer Finite Element Analyses (FEA) was used to predict the reso- surface. nant modes of the Tsar Kolokol, a 200 ton fractured bell that sits outside the Kremlin in Moscow. Frequency and displacement data informed a physical model implemented in the Faust programming language (Functional Audio Stream). The authors hosted a con- cert for Tsar bell and Carillon with the generous support of Meyer Sound and a University of Michigan bicentennial grant. In the concert, the simulated Tsar bell was triggered by the keyboard and perceptually fused with the bourdon of the Baird Carillon on the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor. 1. INTRODUCTION In 1735 Empress Anna Ivanovna commissioned the giant Tsar Kolokol bell. The bell was cast in an excavated pit then raised into scaffolding for the cooling and engraving process. When the supporting wooden structure caught fire, the bell was doused with water causing the metal to crack.

The faculty exists in every human being, whether civilized or savage; but the degree of its develop- ment in any man may be said to determine the culture, in fact, the very civilization of the individual in question. It is born in every- one ; but in some, it is destined like the seed of the Scriptural para- ble, to die for want of nourishment. In others, it reaches, not per- fect maturity—for such an outcome is beyond the dwarfed capa- bility of humanity—but a sufficient degree of development to render its possessors genial and broad-minded men—a bulwark of morality and a credit to society in general.

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this thesis is to review and formulate the history and information concerning bells and campaniles which will aid in the designing of a campanile suitable for Kansas State College. It is hoped that the showing of a design for such a structure with the accompanying model will further stimulate the interest of both students, faculty members, and others in the ultimate completion of such a project. The design for such a tower began about two years ago when the senior Architectural Design Class, of which I was a member, was given a problem of designing a campanile for the campus. The problem was of great interest to me and became more so when I learned that the problem had been given to the class with the thought in mind that some day a campanile would be built.

    Chaldon Walks Chaldon Residents Walked Each of Its Footpaths Regularly Twice a Year from the 1920S Until a Few Years Ago

    1 Chaldon Walks Chaldon residents walked each of its footpaths regularly twice a year from the 1920s until a few years ago. There were six walks of varying lengths designed to cover the network of official paths and bridleways within the parish. This is an attempt to preserve that tradition and provide some interesting detail. Put together by Liz Bonsall with contributions from Adele Brand, Madeline Hutchins and Lizzy Maskey. May 2020 Chaldon Walk 1 – Chaldon Church, Happy Valley, the Golf Course, Fryern Farm, Chaldon Common Road, Birchwood Lane, Willey Broom Lane, Village Hall. 3 miles, approximately 1 ½ hours. Also extension to return to start. Start by the Church gate. St Peter & St Paul’s Church is of Saxon foundation and mentioned in the Domesday Survey of 1086. The present church was probably started late 11thC. The spire was added in 1842. Chaldon Church is world renowned for its famous English wall painting dating from around 1200. The seat along the church path is in memory of Dr & Mrs Williams who were generous Liz Bonsall May 2020 2 benefactors. Notice the new lamp posts to your left, installed in early 2020 to light the path. There are ancient yew trees in the churchyard and three of the large tombs near the shed have Listed Building status (Grade II). The church itself is a Grade I Listed Building. From the gate you can glimpse 14thC Chaldon Court (Grade II*) through the trees to your left. From the gate walk down the lane keeping the graveyard on your left. On your right is the triangle of Church Green, named as common land on maps from 1825 and 1837.

Provenance: Begun for Bishop Mona of St David's[], the book must have been completed after 1407 when Mona[] died and Clifford[] was translated to London[], and, in 1421, on Clifford[]'s death passed to Morgan[], who prefixed the first leaves. A Bishop in Henry VII[]'s time must have added the Office for the reception of a Nuncio. Additions: The decorative work is good throughout: the paintings not of high excellence. Photographic reproductions of a large number of them have been issued by the Alcuin Club under the editorship of the Rev. W. H. Frere[Frere 1901]. Research: Liebermann, p. xxi[Liebermann 1903], calls the MS. Cn and uses it for Excommunication form (p. 434). Decoration: The following is a short list of the subjects represented, besides those specified above. § I. Prima tonsura. Bust of tonsured youth. Ostiarius. Two gold keys.
