*Links:

The church Website opens with a building photo which unfortunately does not show all of the tower.  The extensive virtual tour (which is also a history of the building) does not mention the bells.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the McShane bellfoundry.

Ranking among all North American chimes by size (number of bells).
