194 Some Account of the Parish of Monhton Farleigh. 



they entered the Church first ; the people made their reverencies 

 (alas ! the custom has, with the word, almost died out in these 

 days ! ) stood aside, and followed into the Church ; and so on coming 

 out. 



The east window was put up in memory of the Rev. E. Brown, 

 rector, who died in 1863. The centre figure is that of St. Mary 

 Magdalene, and that on the left St. Edward the Confessor. The 

 origin of such a juxtaposition is said to have been entirely fanciful 

 and sentimental. 



The tunes that used to he played on the barrel-organ are almost 

 a matter of bygone history, but they are worth recording if only for 

 the sake of keeping in memory the tunes that our forefathers loved.

1. Evening Hymn. 1. Easter Hymn. 



2. Portugese, 89. 2. Luther, 139.

In 1553 the King's Commissioners, Sir Anthony Hungerforde, 

 William Sherrington, and William Wroughton, Knights, gave over 

 to the churchwardens " three belles for the use of the Church." Our 

 bells are still three in number, but only one of them (and that 

 cracked) is hung and is used. One bell bears date 1724, and the 

 names Daniel Webb, Esq,, and " John Tozier, re-fecit/'' The others 

 are inscribed 1783, Thomas Cottle and Daniel Taylor churchwardens, 

 and William Bilbie, Chewstoke, Somerset. 



"One cup of viii. oz., and one chalice of viii. oz." were also made 

 over by the Commissioners in 1553, and I may as well here record 

 exactly what Church furniture we have now : — 



In the Chancel. 

 Two curtains and rods against the east wall. 

 One communion table of oak.
