Hi, my name is Conor Flynn. My father-in-law, Denny Collier, is a distinguished artist who sculpts in wood and had received a prestigious commission to carve...
Wow. Off the top of my head, I can tell you that the form of the modern rosary is fairly fixed, and my guess is that that's what would be wanted, especially if...
Hi, Whilst at the Cressing Temple re-enactors' trade fair on the weekend just gone, I happened to see a German(?) lady who was selling rosaries, some of which...
This is a new one on me. Why would anyone want a bell on a rosary? It is reminiscent of the Pharisees in Our Lord's time who had a trumpet sounded before...
Greetings, I did find bells on my running list of "figurative objects or beads" on paternosters/rosaries pre-1600. The bulk of my list is from Lightbown...
I do know that some Canterbury pilgrims would add bells to their rosaries after making the pilgrimage. The bells would have been purchased in Canterbury as...
Intriguing! Don't suppose you have any sources for that - I'm a bit hazy on pilgrim badges... ... UK Parliament Disclaimer: This e-mail is confidential to the...
I'd really have to search hard to find the source for that one. When I was in England 10 years ago, I went to Canterbury and found a small shop that made...
Greetings! ... Pilgrim Souvenirs and Secular Badges - Brian Spencer - 1998 - ISBN 0-11-290574-9 There's pages and pages and *pages* of pewter bell tokens. Mt...
Thanks for that! ... UK Parliament Disclaimer: This e-mail is confidential to the intended recipient. If you have received it in error, please notify the...
... My question would be: did they necessarily have clappers and make noise? Seems to me like a "silent" bell would make just as good a souvenir. But I'm just...
The bells DID have clappers, and DID make noise. The copy I purchased in Canterbury ( and I saw the original) is about 1 1/2 inches high, and has a clapper and...
Greetings again! ... Yep! There are scores of clappers that survived too, and some bells that survived intact (with clappers, which is really neat, and I...
Thanks for the info, Donna. Sounds like one virtue the pilgrims did not pick up was humility! By the way, St. Thomas was killed as was about to begin the...
Was written: Perhaps I'm easily embarrassed, but I had a drawstring bag once with a small bell on the bottom that I made for a Renaissance Faire (where lots of...

A pick of the bone skull paternoster I made for a friend is on my flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rafaella13/124023726/in/set-72057594116497604/ ...
You're right Bud, my bad. I'd forgotten because all the images ( many of which may be exaggerated) show him dying at the foot of the altar. But yeah, Pilgrims,...
Alas, Donna, some things don't seem to change. I do not question the piety or sincerety of modern-day pilgrims to Lourdes, Farima, Canterbury or wherever....
Hello all, Don't know what Milanese pilgrims to Canterbury would have made of it but.... There was also a link between Bells and prostitution - in Milan for...
I'm doing a lunchtime project at the PSU library to amuse myself. There are a great number of books in the N405 classification, and they are not so well...
Oooooo, treasures! <gloat> Any way you could scan pictures for us (when there are any)? -- ____________________________________________________________ O...

I came across a cool image in a Southeby's auction catalog of a jet skull paternoster and the link is: ...
Greetings I'm new to the list and I have a question about early paternosters I'm planning to adopt a Clerical/Monastic persona at a number of events in the...
I have been reading and doing research on early (circa 1400-1600) paternosters, but recently I have run into Anglican ones. My Mother goes to a local...
