366 John Barhor, of Salisbury, Brasier. 



with a pair of compasses, and trefoil ornaments in the intervals 

 between the spokes. The stop in the middle of the word BAKBUR 

 has two columns of four dots each, all of ornamental shape, with 

 intervening dots and fine lines, the whole surmounted by a crown. 

 These may be called the Chitterne cross, Chitterne wheel, and 

 Chitterne colon respectively. In Ellacombe's Church Bells of 

 Somerset fig. 66 is intended for this Chitterne cross, but it is not 

 well executed, and fig. 67 is the Chitterne wheel : and in Ellacombe's 

 Church Bells of Gloucestershire fig. 38 is a representation of the 

 Chitterne wheel, and fig. 99 is really the Chitterne cross, set with 

 the large fleurs de lys vertical, and the small ones in saltire. 

 More correct representations of the stamps on the Chitterne bells 

 have been prepared for this paper, and are shown on the plate 

 which accompanies it. 



We will next mention the 2nd bell at Farley Chamberlayne, in 

 Hampshire, the inscription of which may be represented as follows: 

 + IN: :H0: :N0: :RE: :TRI: :NI: :TA: :TIS 

 The cross and colon, and the letters N H R E A are the 

 same as on the Chitterne bell, and the other letters are of the same 

 character, and all the letters are crowned. The letters of each 

 syllable with the stops enclosing them are contiguous, but there 

 are considerable spaces between the syllables. Farley Chamber- 

 layne is not very far from Salisbury. 



The 3rd bell at Odstock, in Wiltshire, very much resembles this, 

 being inscribed : — 



xIN: HO: NO: EE: MA: RI: E 

 with the same letters and the same cross and colon, and the same 

 crowns over the letters and colon. 



And so does the 2nd bell at Caundle Stourton, in Dorsetshire, 

 described on p. 103 and illustrated by fig. 81 in Canon Raven's 

 Church Bells of Dorsetshire, bearing : — 



+ IN:HO:NO:RE:SANC:TA:MA:RI:A 



The cross, letters, and colon are clearly of the Chitterne type. 

 We find also the 5th bell at Little Bredy in the same book, 

 described on p. 47 and illustrated with fig. 43, bearing : —
