Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Our Parish Books, and What They Tell Us, Vol. 2: Holy Cross West Gate, Canterbury
Holy Cross Church was built by Archbishop Sudbury who was murdered by the followers of Wat Tyler in 1381. It is, therefore, most likely that Stephen Nortonc's hell was cast for the new church. Like the fine West Gate outside the church and the font inside, it has survived all the changes of over five hundred years. About the Wagerell Bell, or Wakerell Bell, as it is frequently called, I can only say there was one at Chartham: one at Sandwich, one at St. Dunsten's, and one, given in 1584, at East Bridge Hospital'. The word itself I have not found in any dictionary to which I have had access. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
