*Links:

The school Website includes part of the chapel in one of the photos which rotates through the home page, but appears to say nothing about the carillon.  However, in a section about a Library exhibition, there is a page picturing the bells and a page picturing the Chapel tower with an audio clip of the carillon.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Gillett & Johnston bellfoundry, in this region and in the world.
