Scope and Contents

Foxglove, a bellshaped flower, is a basis for a grid inscribed on a stone panel that consists of a sequence of numbers to direct bellringers in 'change ringing.' Foxglove is the source of digitalis whose actions are to strengthen & regularize the he Finlay does not have this property in mind for he mentions that this grid sets out to complement the mixture of wild and formal views of the garden. Unlike a sundial, it alludes to episodic bouts of ringing that punctuate the ecclesiastical calendar. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
