Normanton-upon-Soar, Notts.
I am disposed to agree in opinion with E. W. I. as to this custom, not only
as regards the priests, but the people also, for in most country parishes
it is the signal for the baker--who usually cooks the Sunday's dinner of
the humbler classes--to open his oven: and I have often heard old folks
speak of it as "the pudding bell."
