Wraxall. Information obtained from the old parish clerk. 

 Rather over fifty years ago Wraxall Church had two bells, one of 

 which was cracked. About that time Squire Sheen (?), who was 

 the owner of Wraxall Manor and lived at Chalmington, did a 

 good deal of repair to the church. He took oat the cracked 

 bell, making the cote smaller, and carried it away to Chalming- 

 ton. " Canon Rooke said he didn't ought to do no such thing, 

 but he never went after that there old bell to bring 'en back, and 

 where he be now, I'm sure, I can't tell."
