The World Peace Bell (Newport, Kentucky, USA) was the biggest 
_swinging_ bell in the world from its casting in 1999 until 2006, 
when it was supplanted by a bell which now hangs in Japan.  Refer the 
inquirer to the following Webpage:
    http://www.gcna.org/data/Great_Bells.html
from which this and other details can readily be found.
