Inscription. This church bell cast in 1892 at McShane Bell Foundry, Baltimore, MD. was refurbished and this bell tower constructed in 2002 to commemorate the founding of the Church in 1852. It rings in honor of former, present and future parishioners and priests and their work to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Church gives thanks to our parishioners who financially funded the project and to the following parishioners who made special contributions of time and effort: Steve Hoylman, who envisioned, inspired and coordinated this beautiful monument to the glory of God; Richard Hawkins, Don Lambiotte; Junior Warden Gary Metheny; Father Gary Hawkins. We also thank the following companies for their generous contributions of materials, manpower and equipment: Industrial Resources, Inc., West Virginia Electric, Soles Electric, MPE Rentals and Nations Rent.

Erected 2002 by Christ Episcopal Church.
