*Links:

The church Website has a drawing of the building on the home page, but says nothing about the bells.

Where the initial phase of this work lies in the sequence of output of the McShane bellfoundry.
Since the added bell is probably a recycled older bell, it is not indexed.

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