On Friday, the 14th August, eight members of the Society of Southwark Youths rang a muffled peal as a last mark of respect to the memory of the Rev. H. T. Ellacombe, late rector of Clyst St. George, Devon, and also a member of the Ancient Society of College Youths, who died in his 96th year. The bells were rung whole-pulls and stand, in a manner indicative of the age of the late rev. gentleman.
Conducted by Mr. G. Woodage, steeple-keeper.
[Church Bells, August 21, 1885, p903 & Bell News, August 22, 1885, p167.]
This performance was rung In memoriam — Rev. Henry Thomas Ellacombe (1790 - 1885)
