^{page 290 note *} It was formerly the custom to cast bells in the cemetery, or the parvis of the church where they were to be used. They were even cast inside churches, as we ascertained at the Abbey de Valmont, in 1844, where we saw bell-moulds in one of the transepts. The Catholic Liturgy has an especial form of benedictiou for the metal of bells in a state of fusion. It was in the parvis of the Cathedral of Rouen that Jehan of Chartres cast the famous George d'Amboise, August 1, 1501.
