Saint Mary's in Burlington, NJ houses a 22 hundred weight ring of eight installed in 1865.  Unfortunately these bells are extremely difficult and are rarely rung to changes.  Change ringing is done in the crossing of the nave and a "temporary" rope guide helps with the forty-two foot draft.  Most Sundays, the bells are chimed from a chiming stand in the tower.  An excellent website about Saint Mary's parish is found. To see pictures of the bells takes some digging on the site in the section about Worship.  To find out about ringing at Saint Mary's contact Robert Mead, there is no band currently ringing in Burlington.

Immanuel-on-the-Green  in New Castle, Delaware has a light ring of six.  The bells were hung by Taylor's in 1982 and replaced a similar set that were destroyed in a fire in 1980.  Those bells had been installed in 1973.  The tenor is 3-2-24. The New Castle band practices on Tuesday  nights.  Sunday ringing is 9:30-9:55. Ringing may be irregular, so it is best to call first for more info 302-322-4122.

There are three other sets of change ringing bells in Philadelphia.  Two ripe for restoration and one set waiting to be hung.
