New bells Grote Kerk
| In the Haarlems Dagblad there's an article about a recent discovery in the Grote Kerk in Haarlem.
Three old church bells have been re-discovered and have been repaired. They seem to have been 'forgotten' in the sixties when they stopped functioning. Now they'll be clinging around Christmas. The oldest bell is (probably) from around 1666. Traditionally the clinging of these bells indicates the start of the funfair. |
