_The Curfew_, of which some inquiries have appeared in the "NOTES AND
QUERIES," is generally rung in the north of England. But then it is also
common in the south of Scotland. I have heard it in Kelso, and other
towns in Roxburghshire. The latter circumstance would appear to prove
that it cannot have originated with the Norman conqueror, to whom it is
attributed.
