394 Years and Counting
Another pleasant milestone toward our
completion of the extended Church Hall was reached this month when a small
group of interested people watched over the return of 'our bell' to its
rightful place after skilful refurbishment by Anthony Cowling of Waterrow.
How can we be so sure of the bell's longevity? The answer lies around its
rim which bears the legend 'Recast in 1868 from a portion of the
Chipstable Tenor bell originally founded in 1615'. Our bell must have had
many unrecorded adventures and hiding places before being placed on
Waterrow's Church Hall in 1907 since when it has spent 100 years calling
people to worship (not forgetting a spell in the 1940's ready to warn us
of invasion!) The bell has watched over 17 reigns from James I to our own
Elizabeth II (including of course the Commonwealth of Oliver Cromwell from
1649-1660).
Now its fourth centenary is almost upon us -
long may it ring over us!
