sacring

A small sacring bell was discovered in Bottesford Church (Lincolnshire) during its restoration in 1870.

So they came on a day, and found this dead man at the sacring of his mass, and they abode him till he had said mass.

And then the bishop made semblaunt as though he would have gone to the sacring of the mass.

The sanctus bell differed from the sacring bell, which was a hand-bell rung inside the church at the elevation of the Host.
