Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Church Bells of Kent: Their Inscriptions, Founders, Uses, and Traditions

For special assistance I am greatly indebted, first of all, to Mr. E. J. Wells, the secretary of the St. Paul's Ecclesiological Society, a native of the county, and a devoted campanist and practical ringer. He has rendered me most effectual service in verifying and cast-taking. My good friend Mr. J. Meadows Cowper, of Canterbury, has been equally kind steeple-chasing is not his forte - but I owe many thanks to him for very much valuable information from the records of his city, parochial and civic.

Another good friend, Dr. Francis Grayling, of Sittingbourne, has verified for me the belfries in his neighbourhood, and thereby spared me much labour; for this and for other useful information I here record my best thanks.

I am under much obligation to Mr. Herbert T. Sankey and his partner, the worthy Town Clerk of Canterbury, for kindly undertaking several searches in the Registry of Wills, and for other help.
