bell
Bells signify the supposed power of church-bells to disperse evil spirits in the air and their invocation of guardian saints and angels. A hawk's bell would denote one who feared not to signal his approach in either peace or war. A Canterbury bell is a sign of pilgrimage. A bell is assumed to be a church-bell unless it is blazoned otherwise.Copyright © 2000 - 2009 Swyrich Corporation, all rights reserved
