'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'. |
