*Links:

The church Website opens with a painting of the church and its unusual multi-pinnacled bell tower.  A more accurate depiction can be found here, or in enlarged form here.  Another photo of the tower is found on the Who page (at the bottom of the main menu).  But the chime is nowhere mentioned.

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

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