📖 Foolish Youths and Substantial Rewards

*A social history of bellringing in Cambridge*

*By Gareth Davies*

Bells once dominated the soundscape of Cambridge, ringing out for everyone
from parliamentary candidates to lottery winners. The bellringers turned
their pastime into a lucrative business, and ringing played a part in the
customs of the university and local government – and only lastly the church.

What did John Hall do with a dead cat? Why did James Bennet ‘pocket the
cucumber’? Who was the first woman to become a Cambridge bellringer? Meet
the fascinating cast of characters who have rung the bells since the
sixteenth century. They woke the town at 4am, were fined if they failed to
turn out at fifteen minutes notice, and rang for secular events while
church services were in progress: the not-so-distant past challenges a
modern understanding of what it means to be a bellringer. Foolish Youths
and Substantial Rewards provides a unique perspective on bellringing and
life in Cambridge over 500 years.



 "This compelling new book by Gareth Davies is a veritable masterpiece. It
is the kind of book that is difficult to put down because, as reader, you
keep wanting to know what happens next."
- Frank King, University Bellringer, Cambridge
