The letters P. S., on the second bell, are the initials of Dr. Peter Samwaies, who died April 5, 1693, having been thirty-one years rector of Bedale.
On the fly-leaf of one of the later registers at Hornby, near Bedale, is written the following memorandum:
"Inscription on the third bell at Hornby:
'When I do ring,
God's praises sing;
When I do toll,
Pray heart and soul.'
This bell was given to the parish church of Hornby by the Lord Conyers in the reign of Henry VII., but, being broken, was recast by William Lord D'Arcy and Conyers, the second of the name, 1656."
