*Links:

The church Website has a small photo of the tower in the upper left corner of all pages.  Next to it is a tiny photo of a chimer at work.  Unfortunately, a superb page about the chime has disappeared in the latest revision of the Website.  However, the Photos page has a link to a 2-page set of Flickr photos taken during the renovation, and a History page (under "Our 250th Year") mentions the donor of the chime.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Meneely (Watervliet) bellfoundry.

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