*Links:

The church Website opens with a drawing of the building, and a drawing of the bell tower appears on every page.  But there is no history of the parish and no information about the bells.  No longer present is a large photo of the tower; the mid-level room formerly occupied by the chimestand is now the rector's office. 

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