When we returned from our trip north, Sue had some great news for us. The girls had expressed interest in climbing the bell tower at Kingsbury's St. Martin's Church, and Sue was able to arrange it! Yes, it pays to know people who know people!
We were all able to go, led by a friendly man named Dave, who has the keys to the tower. Up 130-plus steps we climbed, up the circular stairwell. We stopped and peeked in at a room with the bells themselves, one of which was 700 years old!
The views from the top were beautiful, of course!
I love this photo Violet took.
Here's Dave, with the bells.
This is the door at the top of the stairwell that led to the top of the bell tower.

John White, in 1733, wanted to be remembered!
