What reading level is Church Bells book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
400 ; sometimes to Pope Sabinianus (a. D. 604), the successor of Gregory the Great. At all events, from the beginning of the seventh century notices of bells of some size become frequent. The Venerable Bede in 680 brought a bell from Italy to place in his Abbey at Wearmouth, and mentions one as being then used at Whitby Abbey. About 750, we read that Egbert, Archbishop of York, ordered the priests to toll bells at the appointed hours. Ingulphus, the chronicler ot Croyland Abbey, mentions that a... peal of seven bells was put up there in the tenth century, anci that there was not such a harmonious peal in the whole of Eng- land ; which implies that rings of bells were then common. If any doubt on the Early History and ^lethods of Casting 5 matter still remained, it would be dispelled by the existence to this day of some hun- dred church towers dating from the Saxon period, and evidently, by their size and construction, intended to hold rin^s of bells (Plate i). I speak of " rings of bells " — and that is a more correct term than " peal, " which refers to the sound they make — but it must be remembered that in those days bells were not rung as in modern times.
