113 



known to any of us west of London. Its note is C, and its 

 diameter 28 inches. The inscription is 



On the shoulder thrice repeated is the sprigged shield of the 

 Brasyers (No. 8). The initial cross (No. 9), the rhyme-stop 

 (No. 10) and lettering deserve all that has been said about them

 bell proceeded it is impossible to say. The date is about the 

 middle of the fifteenth century, and if any light can be thrown 

 on its history it will be most welcome.
