John Taylor Bellfoundry Projects

Coalville, Leicestershire. Mount St Bernard’s Abbey.

November, 2025 | 2025 Projects

The central tower of this abbey church houses a 2 ton Taylor bell that is hung for slow swinging with a counterbalanced clapper on a counterbalanced headstock. The original clapper has broken and a large counterbalanced clapper will be cast to replace it.

* This work is in progress.

* The new clapper has been cast and fettled.

* The new clapper is being timed on our ringing up frame to ensure its correct swing speed.

This project has been completed.
