THE Bata of this old_parish church have recently
best rehung by Messrs. Hooper and Stokes, of Wood-
bury, near Exeter, at an estimate of £9O, but this sum
has been considerably reduced by a valuable gift of
oak from Charborougb Park for the beams and frame
The belfry had become very unsafe; the supporting
beams had in many places crumbled to tinder, and the
Iron work of the bells was very much worn. The int.
provercient effected by the new work is very noticeable;
not only can the peal now be runt without risk to the
ringers or the bells, but there is an absence of all
creaking and noise of machinery, which formerly warn
very conspicuous; the tons of the bells is also louder
and clearer, and the bells are raised with much greater
facility; in fact the tenor bell now rises m easily as
did the treble bell formerly. Messrs. Hooper and
Stokes have great satisfaction; their work has
beenthoroughly well done, and they have been quick
and plena in carrying out their contract. For the
benefit of those interested in church bells we subjoin
the inscriptions, which show three of the peel me of
antiquity :—First " Love God,"
feet second bell. "Praise Go I," J.W., 1000 ;
third bell, "Fear Givi" J.W., 1860.
