*Links:

The Dutch Wikipedia article about the building does not mention these bells, but does report that three swinging bells survived the collapse of a tower in 1890.

The church Website has a small photo of the twin towers in several places, but seems to say nothing about these bells.

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