The cathedral Website has a small photo of the building in the left margin of the home page; it leads to a Tour page which has clickable versions of several more photos of the building.  But these once-famous bells are not mentioned anywhere.

A photo of the building and its spired tower accompanies the report of a visitor.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the McShane bellfoundry.
