Bell tower placement called a success


From New Jersey-

Compare it to a giant Erector Set project, except that each assembly step has to be performed 30 feet in the air.

In front of a crowd of its own parishioners and interested area residents, St. Luke's Episcopal Church completed one of the final steps in its exterior renovation project: installation of a new bell tower.

One by one, during a six-hour period, a crane lifted a half-dozen separate pieces of the belfry onto the roof of the church.

The bell tower replacement is part of the $700,000 renovation of the 175-year-old church building, the oldest of the four churches in downtown Granville.
