Description
John Taylor & Co bellfoundry has been operating from its Grade II listed site in Freehold Street, Loughborough since 1859.
It is the last working bellfoundry in the country and one of the most fascinating places you will ever visit, with opportunities to learn about all aspects of bell founding from early times to today.
Taylor's bells can be heard around the world, including St Paul's Cathedral in London and a bit closer to home at the top of the Carillon Tower in Loughborough.
An exciting project to preserve the foundry and improve the visitor experience is currently underway.
