January 16, 200719 yr I have no clue what a 'belfry' is so.... French fry A belfry or belfrey is the normal name for a bell-tower, although originally it was simply a fortified tower (as opposed to a steeple), commonly attached to the oldest churches (hence the narrow windows and crenellations). The name is derived from either Frankish bergfrith (protected-peace) or greek purgos phoretos, both terms for a mobile seige tower. The French form beffroi refers to a bell-tower, watchtower, mobile seige-tower or gantry. Since a seige-tower may be open at the rear for entry and resupply (via gantry) in English belfry also refers to a large shed, which may also be open on one or more sides.from noose: snare Edited January 16, 200719 yr by thegriffon
