A Georgian (1811) ringers' rhyme board below the bell ropes with coloured sallies (wool woven in to provide grip) in the tower of St Brevita's Church, Lanlivery, Cornwall. The rules of the bell tower and fines for breaking them are laid out in verse below five male figures wearing knee-breeches & each holding the rope to an upturned bell. "Hark how the chirping Treble sings most clear, / And covering Tom comes rolling in the rear; / Now throw them up on end that all may see / What laws are best to keep sobriety: / We ring the quick to church the dead to grave / Good is our use such usage let us have; / To swear or curse or in a choleric mood / To strike or quarrell 'tho he draws no blood / To wear a hat or spur or overturn a bell / Who by unskilful handling mars a peal; / Such shall pay sixpence for each single crime / To make him think cautious against another time; / And we the whole society do agree / To spend our fines in peace and unity." Signed by: N. Kendall Vicar. / R. Treleaven & N. White Churchwardens / A.D 1811. There is a similar rhyme at St Endellion.
