'The 3rd
bell is thought to have been brought from Welton on the other side of
the Humber and that tradition is confirmed by the fact that there is
still in that Church, a bell precisely similar to this in the lettering:
+MARIA MATER DEI EST NOMEN MEUM+. This inscription at
Whitton presents the peculiarity of two crosses close together where
the beginning and end of the inscription approach each other.' - Rev
J.T. Fowler, 1 Aug 1845
Notes :This bell is thought to date from about the
year 1400 and may have been cast in York by
John Potter. The latin means 'My
name is Mary the mother of God'. |
