OK! You've told us that this is the first free-standing bell tower to be built by an English Cathedral since the 15th-century!
Now, DYK which cathedral built a free standing bell tower in the 15th-century? Free-standing bell towers at cathedrals are so rare that if you are going to make that statement, then you need to be prepared to acknowledge and name the cathedral that built the last one.

This article states (twice) that the tower is “the first free-standing bell tower to be built by an English cathedral since the 15th century”; it also appears as a "Did You Know" item today. I’ve tagged this as dubious; I’m stumped to think of any other English cathedral that has a free-standing bell tower, 15th century or otherwise, and of the sources given to support the claim,
the
two I can read don’t mention it, as far as I can see.
So, where does this claim come from? And what other English cathedrals have free-standing bell towers?
