English Bells and Bell Lore: A Book on Bells is a comprehensive volume on the history, construction, and cultural significance of bells in England. Written by Thomas North and originally published in 1888, the book covers a wide range of topics related to bells, including their use in churches, secular buildings, and public spaces; their symbolic and ritualistic significance; and the technical aspects of bell-making and ringing. The book also explores the folklore and legends associated with bells, such as the belief that ringing a church bell during a storm could dispel lightning. With numerous illustrations and anecdotes, English Bells and Bell Lore is a fascinating exploration of a ubiquitous yet often overlooked aspect of English culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
