Three Curious Bells.

There is q curious legend connected
with the bells Of Messingham church.
It is said that long, long time ago
traveller was passing through Messing
ham when he noticed three men sitting
on stile in the churchyard and say
ing, "Come to church, Thompson; come
to church, Brown" and so on. Being
very much surprised, he asked what it
meant and was told that. having no
bells, they called folks to church In
this way. The traveller remarked that
it was a pity SO fine church should
be without bells and at the same time
asked the men If they could make
three for the church, promising to pay
for them himself. They undertook to
do this. They were respectively a
tinker, a carpenter and a shoemaker.
When next the traveller passed that
way, he found the three men ringing
three bells which said. "Ting. tong,
pluff," being made respectively OF tin.
