From the entries in the Books of Orders and the accounts, we 

 gather that at one time the ringing loft was on a level with the 

 sill of the great West window, instead of being higher up the 

 Tower as at present, and that it was separated from the gallery 

 by an iron railing. It appears, however, to have been a nuisance, 

 etc., as in 1635 is the following item : — 



Paid at y e Surrogates Court being psented for y e Bellhouse | o | I | 6
