"One often finds a list of rules displayed on the wall of the belfry. The following are quaintly interesting.
Whoever in this place shall swear
Sixpence he shall pay therefor.
He that rings here in his hat
Threepence he shall pay for that.
Sixpence he shall pay therefor.
He that rings here in his hat
Threepence he shall pay for that.
Who overturns a bell, be sure
Threepence he shall pay therefor.
Who leaves his rope under feet
Threepence he shall pay for it.
A good ringer and a true heart
Will not refuse to stand a quart.
Who will not to these rules agree
Shall not belong to this belfrie.
Threepence he shall pay therefor.
Who leaves his rope under feet
Threepence he shall pay for it.
A good ringer and a true heart
Will not refuse to stand a quart.
Who will not to these rules agree
Shall not belong to this belfrie.
Drewsteignton, Devon. John Hole, Ch : Warden."
