Even in bright daylight, it is surprisingly dim in the tower, as all the
windows are covered with slats and wire to keep
the birds and squirrels out...
   
The bell sits majestically where it
belongs...

The inscription on one side of the bell reads:
"Meneely Bell Co., Troy, N.Y.
1908"
And on the other
side of the bell:
"Presented by Sir Wm. Mortimer Clark, K.C., Lieut.
Governor of Ontario, and Lady Helen Gordon Clark His Wife, To Knox Church,
Toronto, April, 1908"
  
As seen below, a single light bulb lights the
vicinity of the rope. Due to logistical reasons, the bell
is not actually used today; recorded chimes are played from the tower
instead, although the bell can still be used for weddings and special
occasions.
  
The final steps lead to a locked hatch in the roof
of the tower, but don't try exiting from here - there's a much better view
from beyond the attic...
