And the
I objectiollll against the King were two : 1. That the bell was fixed to the freehold. To which it was IUIBWeret!,
I' that it was not fixed to the freehold, but tied in the steeple am! bound down with J.lillll or keys which could be removed without alteratwu of the free
' hold. 2. Objection ; that the bells are parcel of the I, goods of the <Jhureh, and vain will it be to forfeit it to , the King, to he by him restored to the Church again (or ,afterwards) to wit to pious uHes. To which it was ; an.~wereoi, that it shall be forfeited as a satisfuction for 1blood, to he disposed of hy the King to other pious i uses. Hide C. J., and Windham, were of opinion that 1the bell was not forfeited, the other two (Judges) 1aeemed of a contrary opinion; but nothing further was i done In the case which I heard. 1 The ahove is the whole report.

There is a bell at the School inscn'bcd: SAN ROQVE OR..o\. PRO NOBIS ANODE 1788.
The history of this bell I wish to record here. Extract from a Jetter from Caf.t. Di~by Marsh, late
Midshipman on hoard the ' Surveillante," dated August 29th, 1859, to H. T. E.
"The bell in question was brought home in the "Surveillllllte," then commanded by the late SirGeo~e Collier, from the north coast of Spain, and on the sh1p heing paid off, was forwarded to Knowle Cottage. The bell came into our possession after the capture by ~torroing of the Town (May, 1815), and fortresses of Bermeo, on the said coast. It belonged to the Convent which was used hy the French for military purposes, rul<l such being the case, Sir George thought it desir· able to destroy it; so the Convent was blown up, and clown came the bell, which with some other things was carried on board as trophies." (See also Gentlemen 'a .llagazine, August, 1813, p. 170.)
There is n bell from the same foundry, dated 1759, at Goodamore, probably bought in the Dock yard.

Both the sides of the shoulders broken out ; the bell is fastened to the stock by an iron croee I.Dside, and secured to the side. The casting Ia e&id to have been deficient as to metal for the canons in which state the bell was hung up with bolts, but
• it broke down, and then the present croee was adopted ; the sound is good.

Under the masterly instruction of Mr. William Bannister, of Woolwich, who holds an appoinbnent in the Royal dock-yard, these yoUDg men ean ring any numbet of changes scientifically, that is, by rule and method, without committing them to memory, a thing impracticable with long and intricate peals.

Cast at Cullumpton, on Sunday, December 21, 1806.
A. D. July IIi, 1866. " In the year 1806 the parishioners agreed to have
a peal of six bells, the old set, five in number, being rendtired almost useless, some of tbem being cracked i and a Mr. Thomas Bilbie, of Collumpton, was fixea on as the founder. The old bells weighed 2 ton 11 cwt. 1 qr. 7 lbs. The new belle weighed 3 ton 1 cwt. 3 qrs. 12 lbs., making a dilference over the old peal of 10 cwt. 2 qrs. 5 lbs.
"December 21, 1806. The Modbury bells were rung this day at Cullompton, ancl thought to be a good peal, in the presence of Robt. Horswell, Richd. Paige, Philip Light, and Wm. Horswell ; when all four dined with Mr. Brutton, Vicar of Cullompton, that day being Sunday, e.n<l the shortest day in the year, and were entertAined in a most respectable manner by the said vicar, having a rump of beef roasted, and a shoulder of pork, for dinner, with wine and other liquors after to make use of."
"The bel1s were first rung the 15th day of April, 1807, by Aveton Gifford ringers, and then rung and chimed by Plymouth ringers. A handsome dinner was then provided by Mr. Brooking, at the Exeter Inn, and the day spent in a jovial manner in Innocent mirth, and quite unanimous. The bell-founder and the parish were the founders of the feast. "-{From a Parishioner's Memorandum).

The anns are those of Joanna de Beauchamp, CoUlltess of Warwick. She died 1435·6. "March 27, 1428, she was godmother to Henry Dom. de Despencer." (Dugdale, vol. ii, p. 63, underTewkesbury·)
Crowns are over the letters of the first three words. n in Saincti is upside down, proving that the letters
were stamped in separately. At Plymtree, the third, "Ave Maria," &c. is in the
same type, and the same fleur·de·lis, but smaller, to whicb is added R S. as the initials of the foUllder. R. s. mar be the initials of Roger Bernson, of Aish Priors, bell·founder, wbo1 by the Account of the Churchwardens of Woodbury (in Appendix), was living there 1558·9.
At Luppi.t, the tenor is the same "Ave Marla" bell as at Plvmtree, to which is added "BlMEROGER SEM30N."
I consider this the most beautiful bell in the County.
