*Links:

The church Website is unusable by some older Web browsers, in spite of being compliant with the most modern standard.  The portico of the church appears in the header of every page, but the tower cannot be seen.  (But visit the Webmaster's page for a preview of coming attractions!)  The history of the parish can be found from the menu above the photographic header, but it does not mention of the carillon.

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