[Bell Historians] Lincoln College

[John H Allen]

This is the current ecclesiastical law, which may enshrine earlier Canon
Law:-

 

Canon F8 of the Church of England states that "every church shall be
provided with at least one bell

to ring the people to service".

Control of the ringing of church bells belongs jointly to the incumbent and
the churchwardens with

the qualification that no bell should be rung contrary to the incumbent's
direction.

> Why Rev. John Eccles was involved with South Fambridge in the first place
is a question for others to answer, but it would appear that he was indeed
Rector and probably supplied the church with a bell because as far as I can
determine, it had been without one since 1552!

Isn't that contrary to church law? I thought all CofE churches had to
have at least one bell -or did that come into effect aftert that date?
