van wikipedia:
De Nederlands Hervormde kerk van Blaricum is een rijksmonument aan de Torenlaan 16 in Blaricum. Op de plek van de huidige kerk stond rond 1400 een houten kapelletje, gewijd aan Sint Joseph. De kerk zou een eeuw later in steen worden opgetrokken. De toren stamt uit begin 16e eeuw. Na de Reformatie werd het een protestantse kerk. In 1696 werd Blaricum getroffen door een grote brand waarbij de school en 34 huizen werden verwoest. De kerk werd zwaar getroffen door de brand.
In de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd de torenklok door de Duitse bezetter gevorderd. Op 31 maart 1943 werd de klok uit de toren gehaald door aan de zijkant van de toren een gat te maken. Na de oorlog is de klok niet meer teruggevonden en in 1949 gaf het gemeentebestuur opdracht tot het gieten van een nieuwe klok.

The Dutch Reformed Church of Blaricum is a national monument at Torenlaan 16 in Blaricum. Around 1400, a small wooden chapel stood on the site of the current church, dedicated to Saint Joseph. The church was to be built in stone a century later. The tower dates from the early 16th century. After the Reformation it became a Protestant church. In 1696, Blaricum was hit by a major fire, destroying the school and 34 houses. The church was severely affected by the fire.
In World War II, the tower clock was advanced by the German occupying forces. On March 31, 1943, the clock was removed from the tower by making a hole on the side of the tower. After the war, the clock was no longer found and in 1949 the city council ordered the casting of a new clock.
