Notes:
"History of Launcells Church"
The tower of the Launcells church is 64 feet high and houses six bells that are famous for their fine tone.
These were the bells commemorated by the Rev. Robert Stephen Hawker, the Vicar of Morwenstow, the Cornish poet, in 1836.
On hearing that the Launcell's ringers had rung at the accession of George III, and the same again at his jubilee, that three of them had livedtoring in George IV and that two had survived to celebrate the coronation of William IV, he dedicated his poem to their memory.
"Parochial History of Cornwall" by David Gilbert, 1838.
Volume 4, page 18:
An instance of longevity has been given in the parish of Stratton, and an occurrence has been stated to the Editor, which proves thatLauncellsparticipates in the general healthiness of that district.
It seems the identical six men who rang the bells in Launcells tower on the Coronation of King George the Third, rang them also on the day ofhisjubilee, having continued in the parish ringers during all that time.
Their names are recorded in the parish, and may therefore be inserted here,
John Lyle, Henry Cadd, Richard Venning, John Ham, John Allin, Richard Hayman.
And of these, John Lyle rang at the accession of King George the Fourth, and of his present Majesty King William the Fourth, then being inhisninety-sixth year: but all are now gathered to their fathers.

John Lyle baptised 1736, buried 1832 [therefore 96 in 1830]
John Ham baptised 1740, buried 1823 [therefore could have rung the bells 3 times]
Frederick Smallfield painted a famous painting called "The Ringers of Launcells Tower" in 1878 after being inspired by Hawker's poem. The paintingishoused in the Museum in Truro.
