Course Description

Join us for the majestic bell concert, followed by a tour and history of the bell tower, consisting of 47 cast bronze bells. Each bell produces a perfect Flemish bell tone, consisting of a strike tone, a hum tone a full octave below, a minor third, a fifth and an octave above the strike tone. Besides being perfectly in tune within itself, each bell must be in tune with the other bells of the carillon. Around the top of each bell is a frieze made up of figures of the four gospel writers with their medieval symbols. This tour is held rain or shine, and the bell concert can be heard from relaxing on the lawn, in the church or in your car.
