S20622 The Ancient Bell in Chaldon Church, Surrey

None

Text: The Ancient Bell in Chaldon Church, Surrey. The Oldest Church Bell in Surrey.

In shape like a common flower-pot, but the crown is rather spherical than flat, the sides almost straight and not fining off into a sharp angle below the sound bow, but ending with an abrupt curve, and apparently of the same thickness all the way down. (Diameter 20 1/2 in.) Certainly not later than 1250. The inscription, in Lombardic letters, is CAPANA : BEATI : PAVLI
