*Links:

The church Website has a partial photo of the church, though it's hard to find your way through the semi-transparent floating menus.  The previous Website mentioned the chime in a long History page, but that seems to have been forgotten.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Gillett & Johnston bellfoundry, in this region and in the world.

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