*Links:

The Dutch Wikipedia article about the church has two photos of it.  In the tower is the Maria bell of about 700 kg, cast in 1450.  See the associated Wikimedia Commons category for more photos.

The Reliwiki article about the church has photos of it, and mentions that the clockworks and carillon were restored in 2008.

The church Website does not mention the bells.

A Website about the building has a "detail" page that describes the old bell, mentions two bells seized in WW II, and describes the "carillon" of 1961.

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