John Taylor Bellfoundry Projects

Saffron Walden, Essex, The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin.

July, 2025 | 2025 Projects

This beautiful mediaeval church’s steeple houses a 22 cwt ring of twelve that date between 1797 & 1928. The entire installation was retuned and rehung in a new cast iron bell frame by Taylor’s in 1962.

The 7th bell has cracked and will be removed to Loughborough for recasting before it is rehung.

* The bell has been removed and the mould for a replacement bell is in preparation for casting in June.

* The bell has been cast and tuned.

* All is ready for dispatch.

This project has been completed.
