This stand-alone Bell Tower is made of 12 cm square, hardwood post about 3 metres tall. At the top, a square steel (probably capped) collar sits over the post, with a 'V-shaped', wrought iron, isosceles (with a 90° angle against the post) triangle-shaped reaching up to a stepped metal bar for bracing of the pulling mechanism. On the side is metal box covering what looks like a bicycle brake cable coming out of a metal tube from the box, down to the post. And the part to the bell having a rubber concertina protector, to the metal lever arm. The 'Class 3' lever arm pivots at the bottom, with the cable attached just a couple of centimetres up, with a chain at the top of the 20 cm long arm, attached to the bell clapper.
The 35 cm diameter bronze bell is fixed in a diamond-shaped, wrought iron bar frame, with a wrought-floriet at the peak.
