Our Church Steeple Restoration Project by CIS Steeplejack

What do our clients say about us?I wanted to personally and sincerely thank you for the outstanding craftsmanship CIS Steeplejacks did to restore our 56 year old tower/spire and cupola. The tower at Parma-South was originally designed in 1930 as a master plan for a new Presbyterian Church building in Parma Heights, OH. The tower "Church Steeple" was architecturally inspired from "North Church" in Boston. Though not constructed until the entire Tower and Sanctuary were built in 1951, it is one that nearly seems historic in the western suburbs of Cleveland. Built to last with heavy I-beams and internal construction, the exterior colonial woodwork, pillars, balustrades and general "gingerbread" is of wood that gets weather beaten in the Cleveland winds, weather, snow and sun.

Though it has been maintained and painted over the years, CIS Steeplejack recommendations and keen eye for detail and knowledge of what needed to be done was the most positive thing I've heard and seen in many years as the chairperson of our Properties Committee. My knowledge of the Steeple, its make-up, its history and maintenance goes back 30 years. It was refreshing to not only talk to someone who knows what to do, but see the work first hand being done step-by-step as you took me and anyone up to see the progress. Nothing was disguised or hidden. In the situation of steeple repairs, a quick fix would be easy to hide. This sure was not the case at Parma-South!

A bell tower (also belfry) is a tower which contains one or more bells, or which is designed to hold bells, even if it has none. In the European tradition, such a tower most commonly serves as part of a church and contains church bells. When attached to a city hall or other civic building, especially in the usa, it is often named "belfry". Elsewhere, the term "belfry" refers strictly to the part of the tower which contains the bells. Thus some bell towers have no belfry. The occasional free standing bell tower may also be referred to by its Italian name, campanile. Old bell towers may be kept for their historic or iconic value, though in countries with a strong campanological tradition they often continue to serve their original purposes as well.


Historic belfries exist throughout Europe, from Ireland to Russia. Bruges, Ypres, Ghent, Lille, Tournai and Douai have famous examples. Not all are on a large scale; the "bell" tower of Katúň in Slovakia, is typical of the many more modest structures which were once common in country areas. In the Middle Ages, cities sometimes kept their important documents in belfries.


In 1999 thirty-two Belgian belfries were added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites. In 2005 this list was extended with one Belgian and twenty-three French belfries and is since known as Belfries of Belgium and France. Most of these were attached to civil buildings, mainly city halls, as symbols of the greater power the cities in the region got in the Middle Ages; a small number of buildings not connected with a belfry, such as bell towers of—or with their—churches, occur also on this same list.


Archaic wooden bell towers survive adjoining churches in Lithuania and as well as in some parts of Poland.
