*Links:

The Cathedral Website pictures part of the building and the top of the bell tower on the home page.  There are two articles (not illustrated) about the history of the bells, which can be found using the Search facility.  But there seem to be no photos or descriptions of current activity.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of miscellaneous bellfoundries, in this region and in the world.
