An Outing Fit for a King

On my recent trip to Virginia to visit family, I took in many sites that I had never been to, even though I had lived in the area. Toward the end of the week, my aunt had to take my cousin to a doctor's appointment, so I decided to go for a drive. I visited Fredericksburg, VA and then, headed out the King's Highway just to see what was there. I stopped for a minute at George Washington's birthplace and then, in King George, came across this great little church - St. John's Episcopal Church. What struck me was the bell tower. I have never seen one like it. Being an Episcopal church in a town named King George, I would assume the architecture is in an English style. To me, though, it looks like it has Dutch or German influences. I'll have to do some research. What do you think?
