 May — viij'*."

In the same churchwardens' accounts of St. Martin's for the year 

 1582 a whole page is devoted to the particulars of expenses for 

 removing and re-casting' one of the Church bells, at a cost of £5 2*. 

 The bell, curiously enough, seems to have changed its sex during 

 the process of re-casting. It still exists, and is the fifth of the 

 present peal of six. It was cast by John Wallis, one of the early 

 Salisbury bell-founders, who worked from about 1581 to 1633 (see 

 article on Church bells by the Rev. W. C. Lukis, in the 2nd vol. of 

 this Magazine). The bell bears the following inscription : " Be mec 

 and loly to heare the Word of God. 1582. I.W." 



The entry is as follows : — 



" charges Aboute the new Bell 

 It — for unhanging of him ... ... ... ... xiiij*. 



It— for drawing him to the Bellf ounders house . . . xj*. 



It — for bringing the Bell to church ... ... xvij*. 



It — for getting of her up and hanging of her ... iij'. vj*. 

 It — for castinge the Bell to John Wallis iij'. vj'. viij*."
