<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I've now
dug out my earlier article on the "Loyal Youths" and attach a scanned
version, together with the two follow-up letters from the 1983 <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>Ringing World</span></i>. Belfry language and
behaviour was evidently pretty colourful even in 1686-8, as some of the
quotations show!<br>
<br>
I've looked at the subscription lists, but - so far as I can see from a fairly
hasty check - there is no record of Ashmole having contributed. However, the
list seems to relate to the original appeal for funds rather than the "top
up" fund mentioned in the 1688 letter. <br>
