Kirk in the Hills is a beautiful Presbyterian church located in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan that includes the Tower of the Apostles. The tower houses the world's largest carillon in the number of bells contained, which was installed in 1960. The 77-bells range from a 6'10" 6-ton Bourdon to the smallest at 6" 14-pounds. The Church is of gothic design and is patterned after the once-famous Melrose Abbey in Scotland that was built in the 13th century. The church was completed in 1958.

I was born, raised, and lived in Flint, MI until I joined the Navy in 1968. My Mom, the church Pastor and I would drive to Bloomfield Hills (about an hours drive) just to hear the carillon concerts.
