belfry - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about belfry |
 | | Belfries are found in England at Evesham, Berkeley, Chichester, Beccles, and several places in Cornwall. |
 | | Municipal belfries, attached to the town hall are common in continental Europe, as at St Quentin, Douai, and Brussels, but they are also found at Glasgow and Aberdeen. |
 | | The framework of a belfry is made to rest either upon stone corbels or upon recesses in the wall, in order to mitigate the effect of the vibration upon the masonry. |
