Taylor's Bell Foundry - World's Largest Working Bell Foundary in United Kingdom
Taylor's Bell Foundry or simply Taylor's, is the world's largest working bell foundry, located in Loughborough, Charnwood borough of Leicestershire, in the United Kingdom.
It was bought out of Administration in 2009 by a consortium called UK Bellfoundries Ltd who successfully re-financed and re-established the business. Since then the company has re-established its presence not only in the UK but also in the North American Carillon and other export markets.
The restoration of the foundry buildings commenced with the re-opening in 2012 of the foundry's own Campanile which contains the most pealed bells in the world. It is one of the few Victorian purpose built manufacturing sites still being used for its original purpose and therefore of considerable heritage merit.

Loughborough War Memorial and Carillon, U.K
Built in 1922 as a War Memorial. It houses 47 bells, crafted by the local John Taylor Bellfoundry, and its tones can be heard during the regular Thursday and Sunday afternoon concerts in summer months.
Inside the building, there is a wealth of exhibits and material relating to all branches of the armed Services with considerable material relating to both World Wars and especially the local links with American forces stationed in Leicestershire during World War II. People wishing to find out more about Loughborough's military history can visit the Loughborough Roll of Honour website which holds a large amount of photographs and other information, including a full list of the names on the Carillon Memorial.
From the viewing gallery at the top of the Carillon, there are excellent views of the Charnwood area

The new peal of eight for St George, Ypres
I was lucky enough to be invited to help with the swing time analysis at the bellfoundry on the new eight for Ypres, Belgium. Here are all eight on the test rigg at the bellfoundry, with some of the bells being rung for the first time. They are certainly going to be a stunning little eight.

The Willoughby Campanile, housed at John Taylors Bellfoundry
A ring of eight bells in a portable frame. These bells have travelled all over the country. I first rang on them at the Ringing Roadshow at Keele University in 2001. I think that Taylors' shed is their home when they are not out somewhere. Here is some Bristol Surprise Major, rung by guests on the Taylors open day in summer 2010. See if you can spot the seriously huge headstock on the wall!

Taylor's Bell by Mick and Andrea
Our song is inspired by John Taylor's Bell Foundry in Loughborough which is still making bells in the traditional method and has been working on the same site for almost two centuries.
