The tower is lofty, has three stages and small pinnacles at the corners ; on it stands a square of less dimensions, with pinnacles, which contains a bell that announces the hour ; on this is another diminished square with pinnacles which sup- port a large octangular pinnacle, crowned with a gilded vane. The whole somewhat resembles the steeple of the royal exchange London; and (according to the information of Mr. Hague, the architect,) is 169 feet high. Ten bells were intended for it by the parish ; of which the treble, the sixth, and a good deep tenor are put up.
