46 ALL SAINTS' BELLS. 



The Second Bell is 30 inches in diameter at the mouth, and 

 bears the following legend : — 



GOD (Ornt. Fig. 1) SAVE (Ornt. Fig. 1) HIS (Ornt. Fig. 1) 

 CHVECH (Ornt. Fig. 1) 1687 (Ornt. Fig. 1) in one line round 

 the haunch in Roman Capitals. Between the words is the 

 fine moulding Fig. 1 (which occurs also on the Treble). The 

 same pattern encircles the bell beneath the legend, but is in- 

 terrupted in two places by the words : — F. THACKAR and G. 

 SABACOLE, also in Roman Capitals. These are the names of 

 Messrs. Francis Thacker and George Sorocold, already referred 

 to. It is not at all unusual to find words and names misspelt 

 on bells. 



There may be a mistake in the date of this bell, as the figures 

 used by the founders are identical with those on the Treble, and 

 there is no mention anywhere of its being recast. It is possible 

 that the last two figures should be transposed. 



There are no entries specially relating to this bell in the 

 Churchwardens' Accounts. It was probably cast by Noone, of 

 Nottingham. 



With reference to these two Bells, Simpson states in his 

 "History of Derby" (p. no), that in 1669 there were "Two 

 new bells added to All Hallows Church by subscription ; " but 

 this is certainly erroneous. 



The Third Bell is 34 inches in diameter at the mouth, and 

 bears the following legend ; —

 1693 in one line round the haunch in small floriated Lombardic 

 Capitals, similar to those on the Treble, excepting the last word, 

 which is in Roman Capitals. The letter J?t is omitted in the 

 second word, and the second letter of the third word should 

 be J3_. In the last word but one J^L is omitted. The 

 running pattern Fig. 4 is a larger variety of Fig. 6, which occurs 

 on the Treble. Nathaniel Prime and Thomas Chapman were 

 Churchwardens in 1693. In the Book of Orders (1689-1722),
