This Bell sits on what looks like a well box. The large wheel used to ring the bell is made out of wood not cased iron. I thought that was unusual.
"Ringing in the new year" is a term often used to describe the passing of one year into another. Though the phrase today is more figurative than literal, its roots date to the days when church bells were often used as time markers. The ringing of the church bell signified a beginning, a new year, the start of church service or an important occasion such as a wedding.
