designation has been questioned), "found with human remains and other
relics of the Anglo-Saxon period, in the Cathedral of Durham in
1827."--p. 144.

There does seem considerable discrepancy in the statements of the remains
found in 1827 and the body deposited 1541.

I will conclude with asking, Is there any evidence to confirm the tradition
of the Benedictines?

_Vavasour of Haslewood.--Bells in Churches._--It is currently reported in
Yorkshire that three curious privileges belong to the chief of the ancient
Roman Catholic family of Vavasour of Haslewood:

1. That he may ride on horseback into York Minster.

2. That he may specially call his house a castle.

3. That he may toll a bell in his chapel, notwithstanding any law
prohibiting the use of bells in places of worship not in union with the
Church of England.

Is there any foundation for this report; and what is the real story? Is
there still a law against the use of bells as a summons to divine services
except in churches?
