Hello, I am from the Netherlands and came to your website via Tanza and I thought it was a nice church clock because it is older than the building I read in this article. https://www.buildingsofireland.ie/buildings-search/building/40813001/st-michaels-catholic-church-creeslough-creeslough-county-donegal Sometimes there is a story behind what people post and I always want to know because it interests me too. That's why I looked it up. Greetings, Tine

ReplyDeleteI have only seen bells inside a church tower, usually called the bell tower in fact, never outside. Is it still rung to summon the faithful?
ReplyDeleteThey ring it twice a day at noon and at six.
DeleteBeautiful capture on the bell and the structures!
ReplyDeleteYou don't often see bells outdoors. How is this one operated? Electric it seems. The clapper is on the outside of the bell.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I have no idea how they ring the bell but it rings twice a day, once for noon and later at six.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI love bells, especially the sounds they make. Take care, have a happy day!
Exposed to wind and weather he still lets his voice be heard. Truly an invention linked to eternity.
ReplyDelete...do they ring it?
ReplyDeleteThey ring it twice a day at noon and at six.
DeleteVery pretty, with minimalist lines as is the white building behind (I assume the church.)
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that it is in its own structure rather than being on the church itself.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting a modern impression of this church.
ReplyDeleteAttractive. My Dad had a similar bell on the farm and they used it to call us when they couldn't tell where we were.
ReplyDeleteThe architecture looks like it could be Southwestern U.S. from a pueblo.
ReplyDeleteLooks good, I like it :-D
ReplyDeletevery beautiful
ReplyDeletelike the beautiful stone wall too
Unusual to see one not in a tower.
ReplyDeleteAtrae nuestra vista con su imagen y el oído con su replique a misa.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to hear it ring!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful frame.
ReplyDeleteBill - I am curious about the white structure behind the bell ... A lovely rock structure and then white concrete ...
ReplyDeleteI hope it's loud enough but it looks like it needs a longer string to pull it from.
ReplyDeleteAmy above best me to it Bill, longer bell pull required here 😉
ReplyDeleteA nice photograph.
ReplyDeleteI see from comments/answers above it is regularly used, that is good.
All the best Jan
Have you heard it knell? I bet it is deep and loud
