[Bell Historians] Tower Classification required

You could say the same of Westminster Abbey or any other royal
peculiar, but I wouldn't call them secular.  Or does the Queen not
count as a private owner?

At the risk of repeating myself, it all depends on what you mean by
secular.

What about Christ Church, Oxford, which is both a college chapel and a
cathedral?  The tower isn't physically part of the ecclesiastical
building and, I strongly suspect, is owned by the college.  Does that
make it secular?
