Bells and Steeple.
m the London Standard.

From the London Standard.
The church sIire at Shalfleet, Isle OF
Wight, is now being pulled down. There
is a curious couplet relating to this spire.
which runs: 1.-The Shalfieet poor and silly
people sold their bells to build steeple.
And the local tradition is that about
century ago, when the building of steeples
was the fashion, the parishioners sold the
peal of bells which hung in the fine
old square Norman tower to the inmates
of a French monastery and with the
money thus obtained erected steeple on
the top of the tower. The erection has
been an eyesore to Psychologists ever
since, and much has been written depre-
eating it's existence. but the parishioners
have been satisfied with their steepie
until just recently, when II was discovered
that 1t was in a very dangerous state. ana
its weight was seriously damaging the
old tower beneath. 1t has therefore been
decided to pull down the structure. and
an urgent appeal is being made for funds
to remove it and to renovate the ancient
tower.
