The parish Website has a tiny photo of the building on the home page.  An aerial tour has closeup views of the tower near the end.  A page about the current church refers to repairing the "carillon" in the late 20th c.

The parish page on the Southwark Diocesan Website has a very brief history, but no exterior photo.

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