ILUSlia>ll CllUrcll. An account of the re-opening ceremony after 

 restoration, with architectural notes by Mr. C. E. Ponting and particulars 

 of the work clone, is given in Devizes Gazette, Oct. 26th, 1905. The 

 greater part of the notes on the architecture have already appeared in 

 Wi/ts Arch. Mag., xxv., 266, but Mr. Pouting notices in addition the 

 bells, with the following inscriptions : — 



1. Ave: Maria: Ma: 



2. Wm. Cockey, Bell founder 1740. 



3. Hope Well. I. W. 1606. 



The first bell is of Pre-Reformation date, the second was cast at Frome, 

 the third is probably by John Wallis, of Salisbury. 



In the window in the Poore "Pew" are two valuable pieces of old 

 glass. One shows the Virgin seated with the Child in her lap. She 

 wears a blue robe and is crowned and surrounded by rays of gold ; around 

 this are " myriads of Angels," some on a blue ground, and others on red. 

 The other subject is the Crucifixion, on one side of the cross is the Virgin 

 in blue, on the other St. John in red.
