Saint Agatha Parish Bell Tower - Milton, MA - Bell Towers on Waymarking.com

In the Milton village of East Milton is Saint Agatha Parish, a Roman Catholic Church that has a bell tower over the front entrance.

The church is located at the intersection of Adams Street and Brook Street. It is a stone church that also includes a school on the property.

The tower is a four-sided structure about 50 ft tall and has four small spires at the corners and a cross centered between the spires on the front. Below them is the double opening of the bell chamber. The corner has stepped features.

The church web site only has a little about the tower - in their wedding event planning page. On another page is a statement that a page is being added for the bell tower in the future. The wedding event page has the following:

"...the carillon located high in the tower over the church entrance. The 14 bronze bells were cast by the Petit & Fritsen Company of The Netherlands in 1967, with the largest bell weighing an enormous 5,860 pounds!"

I heard the bells chime the hour during the visit, so they are still playable. The chimes are listed on a page here, as well:
