	TOWER - LoveToKnow Article on TOWER
		In some of the French towns, isolated towers were built to contain bells, and were looked upon as municipal constructions; of these there are a few left, as at Bthune, Evreux, Amiens and Bordeaux, the latter being a double tower, with the bells placed in a roof between them.
		There are a few examples of central Anglo-Saxon towers, as at St Marys, Dover; Breamore, Hants; and Dunham Major, Norfolk; and, combined with western towers, at Ramsay and Ely; twin western towers existed at Exeter.
		In many of the churches in Norfolk and Suffolk the western tower is circular, owing probably to the fact that, being built with stone of small dimensions, the angles of the quoins would have been difficult to construct.

	A Story History of St Mary-le-Bow
		The historic bells of St Mary’s came crashing to the ground; the remarkable wooden staircase through the spire was destroyed; and the beautiful steeple, arguable Wren’s loveliest creation, was taken down and stored for almost 20 years.
		Arising from its close relationship with the See of Canterbury, St Mary’s served as the meeting place of the medieval Court of Arches, though a Daily Telegraph pamphlet produced in 1964 to mark the re-consecration of the church notes that “the Court was later moved to the Sanctuary of Westminster where its successors now meet”.
		St Mary’s was the location for many of the famous Boyle Lectures of the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
