[157] The clapper weighs 2 cwt. 13 lbs., and the total cost was £230.
[158] The belfry stage is not of sufficient size to admit of the swinging of so great a bell as that of the College; it is accordingly rung by chiming only.
[159] One corner, indeed, had to be strengthened about the middle of the present century.
[160] The clock was made by Chancellor in the year 1846; it has a duplex escapement, and strikes the hours and half-hours. It was repaired and added to by Dobbyn in 1870.
[161] See Notes and Queries, I., vii., 428.
