||
| notes:- |
These notes date from a time when there were only 8 bells? |
|
| When the city was taken by the Duke of Cumberland, after the 1745 Rebellion, it is
said that his Master of Ordnance wanted the bells taken down to make artillery ammunition.
This did not happen. |
||
| The bell wheels were removed for a long while, so that they could only be chimed,
because the tower was unsafe. The bells were rehung in a new frame, with 2 bells added
to make a ring of 8, by Mrs Rashdall, commemorating her husband, Dean Rashdall. |
||
| Bell 7 is believed to have been put here 1401. It has/had a medieval shape, long waisted;
inscription:- |
||
| "[I, Mary with pure accents sing, Second in the chiming ring.]" |
||
| Bell 6 was cracked when being chimed to celebrate the Battle of Waterloo; later recast,
1845. |
