Detailed explanation-1: -A belfry most specifically refers to the part of a bell tower that actually holds a bell or several bells. Confusing things further, the term was also used at one point in history to refer to the framework holding the bells in place.
Detailed explanation-2: -A typical belfry is at the top of a church steeple. It’s open on all sides so the sound of the ringing bells can escape-if you look up, you can see the large bells through the openings in the belfry.
Detailed explanation-3: -Belfry comes from the Middle English berfrey, a term for a wooden tower used in medieval sieges. The structure could be rolled up to a fortification wall so that warriors hidden inside could storm the battlements. Over time, the term was applied to other types of shelters and towers, many of which had bells in them.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ans: Belfry-tower is the high room on the church where is kept the church-clock.
