THE LEGEND OF THE CANTERBURY BELL 39 
Long, long ago, in the Cathedral at Canterbury, the Shrine of Thomas A’Becket used to be covered with a 
velvet canopy covered with many small silver bells. The raising of the canopy and the tinkling of the bells 
gave n,otice to pilgrims scattered about the Cathedral that the service was about to commence. The resem¬ 
blance of the blooms of Campanula Medium to these small silver bells gave them their well known name 
of Canterbury Bells.
