The Bell of Hope
The Bell of Hope
St. Paul's Chapel churchyard
Broadway, Lower Manhattan
New York, September 2008
“To the greater glory of God and in recognition of
the enduring links between the City of London
and the city of New York”
“The Bell of Hope is situated in St. Paul's churchyard in New York right next to where the World Trade Center used to sit. The Lord Mayor of the City of London presented this bronze bell to New Yorkers on the first-year anniversary of September 11th. Cast by the same foundry as the Liberty Bell and London's Big Ben, it conveys the empathy and solidarity of the people of London with the people of New York. The Reverend Dr. Daniel Paul Matthews, Rector of Trinity Church, rang the bell on the second anniversary. The Bell of Hope is permanently located in St. Paul's churchyard.” (Remembering 9/11 - Bell of Hope, HighlanderImages)
