Note 152 — HISTORY OF THE CATHEDRAL CHURCH OF WELLS. (continued 3)
Reading edition
Somersetshire Archæological Proceedings, xii. 19. "In 1318 receivers were appointed for the tenths, given in aid of the new campanile, and for the oblations to Saint William.... In 1321 we find a grant from the clergy of the Deanery of Taunton in aid of the roofing of the new campanile," meaning, not improbably, a wooden spire. By Saint William is meant Bishop William of March; see p. 107.
