Bell Tower, St Thomas, Stourbridge, West Midlands, England - Bell Towers on Waymarking.com

From their website:-
The western tower was completed by the year 1759 - some 30 years after work had commenced on the building of the New Chapel, as St Thomas' was then called. Built of local hand-made bricks costing only a few shillings per thousand, it is 100 feet high. There are 128 steps from ground level to the roof, from which may be had views over the township of Stourbridge extending to the Clent and Rowlet Hills, Lye, Dudley, Brierley Hill, Sedgley, Wollaston, Wordsley, Norton, Oldswinford and Pedmore.

The tower was restored in 1970 at a cost of over £5,000. It houses a ring of ten bells, the weights of which range from 4 and a half cwt (treble bell) to 18 and a half cwts (tenor bell). The total weight of the bells, excluding the iron and steel frame in which they hang, is some 82 cwts. The bells are made of bronze, an alloy of copper and tin.
