The Bells of London
Nursery Rhyme evolves into
Oranges and Lemons!
The Oranges and Lemons
Nursery Rhymes refers to
many of the Churches and
Institutions found near, or
within the City of London.
The alternative lyrics to
Oranges and Lemons rhyme is
the London Bells Nursery
Rhyme which is the original
version of
Oranges and
Lemons!
The Children's Choice!
Over the course of time
the original lyrics have
been forgotten - the
cut-down version is much
easier for children to
remember. The section at the
end of the Oranges and
Lemons rhyme "Here comes the
candle..." was added at a
much later date, enabling
children to play the party
game.
Our Heritage is conveyed
in Nursery Rhymes!
The words of the London
Bells rhyme accurately
reflect the history of
London and maintains our
heritage - the traditions
and customs practised in
London's bygone days.
The Bells of London are
telling us Stories!
The stories relating to
the Bells of London reflect
the history of the city and
the people who lived there.
At first glance the 'Bells
of London' and the newer
version of 'Oranges and
Lemons' Nursery Rhymes look
to be interesting poems
which include the most
famous bells and churches of
London. |
