John Taylor Bellfoundry Projects

Frampton, Dorset, St Mary’s Parish Church.

June, 2025 | 2025 Projects

The tower of this church houses a 16 cwt ring of six which date between 1694 & 1920, when Taylor’s recast the tenor bell.

The bells will be removed to the Foundry for conservation, cleaning and tuning. All new ringing fittings will be manufactured for the bells and the 1694 oak bell frame strengthened before the bells are rehung.

  • These bells have been removed with local help and are at the Foundry.
  • The bells have been conserved, cleaned and tuned.
  • The manufacturing of the new fittings nears completion.
  • Hanging is underway.

This project has been completed.
