PREFACE.
The contents of this volume do not call for any special
remark. Mr. J, Eyre Poppleton is to be congratulated
on the completion of his description of the Church Bells
of the West Riding. Those in the North Riding still
remain to be done. Mr. Mill Stephenson has sent a
further instalment of his most valuable series of papers
on the Monumental Brasses in this county, this time one
containing those in the North Riding. The concluding
paper, describing the brasses existing in the city of York,
will appear in the next volume. Canon Fowler has
again proved himself a good friend of the Society by
sending articles on matters of a more or less ecclesias-
tical nature. Writers of articles in former volumes, as
Mr, Chadwick, Dr. Leadman, Mr. Clay, Dr. Fairbank, and
Canon Wordsworth, continue to show their interest in
the Society by contributing to the pages of the JournaL
A considerable portion of Paver's Marriage Licenses is
given in this volume.
The Council desires to take this opportunity of thank-
ing all these and other contributors for their various
papers, and has only to add that in this, as in former
volumes, the contributors alone are responsible for the
opinions and statements made in their several papers.

made a mistake as to the position of the manor of North Hall.
This manor was situated near the bottom of Lady Lane, pretty nearly
due north from the parish church. See Thoresby Society^ ix, 2, and
accompanying map. Mr. Skaife Sifates that the manor was on the
east side of Leeds, but he has hardly made sufficient allowance for
the growth of the town since Elizabeth's reign. The Northall Street
mentioned in Mr. Skaife's article leads from Burley Street to Kirkstall

BELLS IN THE WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE. 7
From this there appear to have been in the sixteenth century at
least four bells. I gather from the expression "belles remayninge^'
that there may have been more. In 1750 there were three large
bells, then recast into five, of which the firesent 4, 5, and 6 remain.
The third bell was given by Mr. William Day in 1875, l>cing cast by
Messrs. Mears. In 1878 it was found to be too light and also out of
tune, and was recast by Messrs. Warner.

PREFACE.
The contents of this volume do not call for any special
remark. Mr. J, Eyre Poppleton is to be congratulated
on the completion of his description of the Church Bells
of the West Riding. Those in the North Riding still
remain to be done. Mr. Mill Stephenson has sent a
further instalment of his most valuable series of papers
on the Monumental Brasses in this county, this time one
containing those in the North Riding. The concluding
paper, describing the brasses existing in the city of York,
will appear in the next volume. Canon Fowler has
again proved himself a good friend of the Society by
sending articles on matters of a more or less ecclesias-
tical nature. Writers of articles in former volumes, as
Mr, Chadwick, Dr. Leadman, Mr. Clay, Dr. Fairbank, and
Canon Wordsworth, continue to show their interest in
the Society by contributing to the pages of the JournaL
A considerable portion of Paver's Marriage Licenses is
given in this volume.
The Council desires to take this opportunity of thank-
ing all these and other contributors for their various
papers, and has only to add that in this, as in former
volumes, the contributors alone are responsible for the
opinions and statements made in their several papers.

made a mistake as to the position of the manor of North Hall.
This manor was situated near the bottom of Lady Lane, pretty nearly
due north from the parish church. See Thoresby Society^ ix, 2, and
accompanying map. Mr. Skaife Sifates that the manor was on the
east side of Leeds, but he has hardly made sufficient allowance for
the growth of the town since Elizabeth's reign. The Northall Street
mentioned in Mr. Skaife's article leads from Burley Street to Kirkstall

bore only the names of two or three churchwardens.

There were formerly two bells. This chapel was formerly a
Parish Church, and was granted to the Vavasour of the day in
reward for his loyalty during the threatened attack of the Spanish
Armada, It is said to be, with one exception, the only Parish
Church in England which has never witnessed the Anglican rite

There is now one bell, 8 in. diameter, without mark or inscription,

BELLS IN THE WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE. 7
From this there appear to have been in the sixteenth century at
least four bells. I gather from the expression "belles remayninge^'
that there may have been more. In 1750 there were three large
bells, then recast into five, of which the firesent 4, 5, and 6 remain.
The third bell was given by Mr. William Day in 1875, l>cing cast by
Messrs. Mears. In 1878 it was found to be too light and also out of
tune, and was recast by Messrs. Warner.
Rev. William Gill was also Vicar of Kirk Fenton, and died
2nd February, 1756.
For the death bell here they ring —
For a man, three strokes three times \
For a woman, two strokes three times then pause
For a boy, three strokes once I and repeat.
For a girl, two strokes once j
