Canterbury bellsn.

Forms: Also Canterbury bell.

Etymology: See bell n.¹ 4; apparently the full name was fancifully associated with the small bells worn on their horses by the pilgrims in pre-Reformation times, and often mentioned in the 16th cent. (See Britten and Holland.)

a. A flowering plant of the genus Campanula; originally applied to the native species C. Trachelium, the Nettle-leaved Bellflower or Throatwort; but in later times transferred to the cultivated exotic C. Medium, called in the 16th cent. Coventry Bells or Marian's Violet. More loosely, the name has been applied to the Giant Bell-flower, C. latifolia, and perhaps to other species. (Until the 19th cent. always bells.)
