*Links:

On the church Website, an overview page pictures part of the building, but unfortunately not the tower.  There is a page about the bell tower, asking for assistance in restoring the tower and bells; there are engineering drawings of the belfry and chime, along with two photos in the belfry.

A different Website of the church has a page about plans to restore these bells.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of its maker.
