Odd Notions On Bequests And Curfew Bells From English History
A curfew bell bequest from St Peter’s church in Lincolnshire is cited alongside other medieval gifts and misers. Examples include Duchess Dudley’s slaves ransom fund, Thomas Belton’s split fortune aiding kin and strangers, and a Barton landowner’s bell schedule tied to barley shipments. The piece notes strange bequests and a predilection for names, with a London Globe reference. It ends by warning that delaying tasks wastes time and may lead to lifelong enslavement of opportunities.
