Englands last bell foundry, go out of your way to visit. Spectacular bell casting. Ancient trade, unique experience

For a campanology st like me fascinating living history It's a privilege to visit Friendly helpful staff too a real joy

An amazing bell foundry the largest in the world and museum. A very informative tour and you can watch the bells being cast.

Church, Cathedral, Carillon and hand bell foundry and museum with friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Largest bell in England, now hanging in St Paul's Cathedral London was cast here. Parking can usually be found on adjacent roads. Museum offers hand on learning and is open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, but phone to confirm.

Fantastic experience, even got to witness my handbell set being cast!

Fascinating museum and foundry, still producing new bells and restoring bells , hundreds of years old. The work carried out has changed little since the Foundry began back in the 1850's.

Very interesting! I don't know whether they still do the tour, well worth doing!

Very interesting tour getting to see the manufacture of bells and the framework that supports them from start to finish. Although it is a museum, it's actually a working factory too. Our guide explained everything very clearly. Well worth a visit.

They did a really good tour. We got to ring their famous 12. Great day

Still doing the tours. Need to phone Taylors for more information but it's very unique and interesting! Well worth a visit. Look round the museum and working workshop and foundry.

The only surviving Bell foundry in the UK, original buildings on this site since 1859.
Nostalgic step back in time place to visit with an excellent museum too.
