The English Wikipedia article about the building has a photo that shows the bell tower quite well.  But the bells are not mentioned.

The parish page about the cathedral has several photos that include the bell tower, but there is no mention of the bells.

An architecture page about the building has a fine video (2:52) of the exterior and the surroundings as viewed from a drone.

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