*Links:

The Dutch Wikipedia article about the building has a photo of it, and a section about bells, but only the first (and oldest) is described.  The tower is owned by the municipality.

The Reliwiki article about the church has several photos of it.  The text identifies a church bell but does not mention these bells.
There is a separate article about the chapel, which gives the history of the tower.

The Website of the municipality Hoeksche Waard does not mention these bells.

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