The church Website has a page about the tower in the History section; it has a small photo of the tower, and mentions the 1969 addition of a "small carillon", which makes itself heard every 15 minutes during the day.

The Dutch Wikipedia article about the town has a photo of the church and a paragraph about it, but does not mention any bells.

The Wikimedia Commons category for the building has several photos of the tower.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Eijsbouts bellfoundry, in this region and in the world.
