sexton's
Bell ringer's belongings
Sexton's is the possessive form of sexton, a person who maintains a church building and grounds.
A sexton's duties traditionally include ringing bells, digging graves, and keeping the property in order: The sexton's shovel leaned against the cemetery wall.
We found the sexton's keys to the bell tower.
