Description: | The motto on this bell tin was used fairly often on church bells. For example, an eighteenth century bell in the church of St Matthew, Walsall, is inscribed WHEN YOU US RING WE'LL SWEETLY SING THOMAS RUDHALL. GLOUCESTER 1775. Similarly, all of the bells in St Anne's, Shandon in Ireland, have a poem beginning When us you ring we'll sweetly sing God preserve the Church and King. Interestingly, in 1908 Mappin and Webb, Birmingham, produced a silver table bell with the motto "I'll sweetly sing when you me ring". The lettering on this bell is very close in style to the lettering on this tin. Perhaps its designer had seen this Mappin and Webb bell. This particular tin was bought in Australia, an example of the world wide distribution of Huntley & Palmers biscuits. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Publisher: | Huntley & Palmers | Rights holder: | Reading Borough Council (Reading Museum Service) | Subjects: | bell communication inscription recreation decorative art | Temporal: | start=1912-01-01; end=1913-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Huntley, Boorne & Stevens (probably) | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
