Hall 1890, gives the following regarding the belfry for Great Coates: "<i>The tower contains four bells - cast by Harrison in 1807. In 1553, however, there were here three great bells. On the bell frame, which is ancient, is this inscription:- ROBINSON, curate; EDWARD GILLIAT, church-warden 1739. JAMES HARRISON of Mid Rasen, bell-hanger.</i>" He gives no inscriptions for the bells themselves, if indeed there are any. Perhaps Peter can enlighten us? Regards, Neville Rod,

It is said that this was the first utterance of the name Roundhead, but Officer Hyde most probably heard the Queen as she called from her window" Samuel was in trouble throughout his life, after the Rye House Plot he wrote seditious letters about Judge Jeffereys, the letters were seized at his house and he was brought to trial before Jeffereys(!) and Jeffereys said "It is high time for all mankind, that have any Christianity, or sense of Heaven and Hell, to bestir themselves, to rid the nation of such caterpillars, such monsters of villainy as these are" There were a few noteable Barnardistons - one was a Serjeant-at-law renowned for sleeping through debates!
