The church Website opens with a picture of the building and tower.  The History page repeats the picture, but says nothing about the bells.  Unfortunately, the planned Contact Us page was never provided, and the Events page is more than three years out of date.
There used to be another Website about the Cathedral; it had a Virtual Tour which included a photo of the bell tower, accompanied by mention of the clock and bells.

A tour article (text only) mention the bells and clock.

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