A 13-bell Meneely (Watervliet) chime was installed in 1948 and has been removed.
A new bell tower was built in 1962 with 20 Paccard bells given by Charles W. Dana, Jr. in memory of his mother, Agnes Ladson Dana.
The congregation gave ten additional Paccard bells in 1965 in memory of the Reverend Michael R. Barton, Rector Emeritus of St. Mark's Church. The 30-bell carillon was dedicated in May 1966 by Arthur Bigelow.
The tower and carillon were designed by Arthur Lynds Bigelow of Princeton University.
