The Dutch Wikipedia article about the building has a photo of it but does not mention these bells nor any involvement of Lips.  The Wikimedia Commons link only provides photos of the interior.

The Dutch Religious Wiki page about this building mentions the donation of tower and carillon, and has several exterior photos from various perspectives.

A history page provides another photo of the tower.

A personal page provides more photos of the building.

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