Tracing further the history of this second church bell, it was removed to the second meeting house, erected in 1650, upon Watch House Hill, within the present College Yard and near the 'site of Dane Hall. Replaced, by a larger bell given in 1700 by Capt. Andrew Belcher, it was then voted by the Town to give the little meeting house bell to the Cambridge Farms, now Lexington.
