The next reference can be seen within a plaque on the south wall of the nave with the date 1631 and four sets of initials. Some of this information is repeated on the tenor bell. The raised letters are MC, ED, WS, and IT, together with the date 1631.The initials on the plaque are CW, ED, WS and IT. There is therefore and anomaly between MC and CW. We suspect the initials WS may relate to William Sellars of York who made bells around 17th century. The initials MC could relate to the vicar of the church between 1621 and 1662 i.e. Matthew Cooper. The national bell register identifies the second bell as 14th century but does not bear any identifying features.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1510147404472_67661" style="font-size:medium;"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1510147404472_67544" style="font-size:medium;">I have attached photographs.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1510147404472_68924" style="font-size:medium;"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1510147404472_68857" style="font-size:medium;">Many thanks for taking the time to read this.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1510147404472_68925" style="font-size:medium;"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1510147404472_68873" style="font-size:medium;">Regards</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1510147404472_68858" style="font-size:medium;">Jean Hamilton</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1510147404472_68859"><br></div></div><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div>
