[If our correspondent will refer to the last edition of the
_Glossary of Architecture_, s. v. _Campanile_, he will learn
that though bell towers are generally attached to the church,
they are sometimes unconnected with it, as at Chichester
cathedral, and are sometimes united merely by a covered
passage, as at Lapworth, Warwickshire. There are several
examples of detached bell-towers still remaining, as at
Evesham, Worcestershire; Berkeley, Gloucestershire; Walton,
Norfolk; Ledbury, Herefordshire; and a very curious one
entirely of timber, with the frame for the bells springing
from the ground, at Pembridge, Herefordshire. At Salisbury a
fine early English detached campanile, 200 feet in height,
surmounted by a timber turret and spire, stood near the
north-west corner of the cathedral, but was destroyed by
Wyatt.]
_An Easter-day Sun._--In that verse of Sir John Suckling's famous
_Ballad upon a Wedding_, wherein occurs the simile of the "little mice,"
what is the meaning of the allusion to the Easter-day sun?--
"But oh! she dances such a way,
No sun upon an Easter-day
Is half so fine a sight!"
