structures may be related very loosely to the "klokkenstoelen"
(literally bell chairs) found in Friesland, in the NE of the Netherlands.
This may seem a bit far fetched but Fries is the closest language to
English. Until the late middle ages the two were close enough to be
mutually understandable, in much the same way as Scots and Irish Gaelic.

<TD vAlign=top>There is another one at Wix, also in Essex and close to
Wrabness. I haven't seen it recently - I gather it is a modern (1975)
rebuilding of the original C17 structure.<BR><BR>Philip<BR><BR>--- On

<P>I was browsing on the photographic website, "flickr" and came
across <BR>these pictures which may be of interest. I expect the bells
to be well <BR>known amongst historians but I was surprised to find
that East Bergholt <BR>is not the only church with a wooden bell cage
in the churchyard. <BR>Admittedly the one at Wrabness, Essex contains
only one bell but it <BR>makes me wonder whether there may be still
further examples of such <BR>cages. Does anyone on the list know?
There is a link to a picture of the <BR>East Bergholt cage for
comparison which shows clearly that the cages <BR>have rather little
in common and are of very different ages. However <BR>there is only
about ten miles between the two villages. Is there perhaps <BR>a local
tradition of such cages?<BR><BR>The bell in Keene, NH seems to have
hung for some years in the Baptist <BR>church but it is unclear
whether it is still in use somewhere else now. <BR>It was the
reference to its being cast by Paul revere of Boston that <BR>drew me
to this, as he has been mentioned recently on the list.<BR><BR><<A
