Meade Memorial Episcopal Church Bell Tower

Here follows the inscription written on this roadside historical marker:

Meade Memorial Episcopal Church Bell Tower
The 1990 enlargement of this church is dedicated to God's glory and to the memory of the Afro-American Christians, many of them emancipated slaves, who became the congregation of Meade Church by Action of the vestry of Christ Church in 1873, two years after this bell was cast.

Let the sound of this bell always remind the hearers of how precious is our freedom under God.

This bell tower is given in honor of the Rev. Canon John C. Davis, Rector 1960-71

Erected 1990 by Meade Memorial Episcopal Church.
