Scope and Content
Evans, Rachel. Home scenes: or, Tavistock and its vicinity. London: Simpkin and Marshall; Tavistock: J. L. Commins, 1846. p. 153.Few other relics remain of the times when the monks held dominion here: the most perfect is what I have denominated "The Belfry," which consists of a small square tower in the court-yard, with a pointed roof, surmounted by a conical ornament; under the roof at equal distances, are square holes, either to admit light, or emit sound. Tradition relates that a subterranean passage is carried from this belfry to the neighboring [sic] down.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
