Single Bells

From tiny parish churches and schools to great cathedrals and city halls we have supplied hundreds of individual bells. Some are small and others huge bourdon bells weighing many tons, but each one is precious to its community.

Taylors have cast more than 200 bells weighing over 2 tons - by far more than any other British Bell Founder. We have enough furnace capacity to cast massive bells, and to date we have cast many bells weighing more than 10 tons, and even one for St. Paul’s Cathedral in London which weighs a massive 17 tons.

Bells from Taylor's Foundry ring out from towers in every part of the world and many thousands have been cast and installed. Trust our craftsmen with your commission - they won't let you down.
