The Loughborough Bell Foundry
With modern computer profiling we can, and do, cast bells of the same shape as bells produced by any bell founder. So if you want a Gillett & Johnston or Whitechapel bell, or one produced by Dobson of Downham Market or any other founder, just ask and we'll cast and tune it for you and it'll be a perfect match.
An order has been placed for the casting of a 39″ diameter bell for this temple. The bell will be the gift of Mr Padai, and will weigh approximately 11.5 cwts. It will be hung for swing chiming and new fittings and a bell frame will be manufactured and supplied with the bell.
