Congregational Church of Topsfield

Friday, July 28
Steeple Day

 

The second step: Remove the bell

Lifting the bell

Setting it on the trailer

Drive it to the Common

The Revere bell on display

 

The third step: Remove the Belfry

Lifting it off its base

This needs a lot of time to be moved

Check how it leans!

The whole day was open to the public. The Topsfield Common looked like a fair ground, our congregation had set up games for kids, we had hamburgers and hot dogs, root beer floats, coffee and cake.
