Small Bells & Bespoke Commissions
“”
From private homes to historic vessels, every Taylor bell is cast with the same care and tradition.
Crafted for Every Occasion
Handbells, House & Estate Bells, Ship’s Bells, Memorial Bells & Bespoke Commissions
While John Taylor & Co. is renowned throughout the world for casting some of the finest church and tower bells, our foundry also produces and restores an exceptional range of smaller bells for private homes, country estates, historic buildings, yachts and bespoke commissions.
Every bell is individually crafted using the same skills, materials and attention to detail that have defined the Taylor name for generations. Whether commissioning a bell for a manor house, a classic yacht, a special celebration or a treasured family heirloom, our craftsmen work with each client to create something that is both beautiful and enduring.
Handbells
Manufacture, Restoration, Repairs & Complete Handbell Sets
We manufacture high-quality handbells for musicians, schools, churches, ceremonial use and private collectors. Available as individual bells or complete sets, every handbell is designed to provide excellent tone, balance and durability.
Handbell restoration forms an important part of our work. Our experienced craftsmen regularly restore individual bells and complete handbell sets, carrying out repairs, refurbishment and sympathetic conservation to return them to full working order while preserving their historic character. Whether your bells require re-leathering, mechanical repairs, cleaning or complete restoration, we are happy to advise.
House & Estate Bells
Bespoke Bronze Bells, Estate Commissions, Personalisation & Heritage Craftsmanship
A bespoke bronze bell brings distinction and character to any property. We have recently undertaken commissions for manor houses, country estates and historic homes, creating elegant bells that complement their surroundings while providing a practical and enduring feature.
Whether mounted at a front entrance, gatehouse, stable yard, courtyard or garden, each bell is individually designed and can be personalised with a family name, house name, coat of arms or bespoke inscription.
Beautifully proportioned and made to last for generations, a Taylor bell becomes part of a property’s story.
Ship & Yacht Bells
Classic Yachts, Heritage Vessels, Bespoke Castings & Personalised Inscriptions
Whether for a classic yacht, heritage vessel, luxury motor yacht or private launch, a beautifully crafted bronze bell is both a practical feature and a symbol of maritime tradition.
Taylor’s has produced ship’s and yacht bells for distinguished commissions, private owners and historic vessels alike. Individually cast and hand-finished in our Loughborough foundry, every bell is made to the highest standards of craftsmanship and can be personalised with a vessel’s name, crest, registration details or commemorative inscription.
Whether displayed proudly aboard or presented as a gift to mark a new yacht, restoration or significant voyage, a Taylor bell is designed to be treasured for generations.
Memorial & Commemorative Bells
Weddings, Anniversaries, Memorials, Milestones & Personalised Inscriptions
A bespoke bell is a lasting way to celebrate life’s most important occasions. We create commemorative bells to mark weddings, anniversaries, retirements, significant birthdays, memorials and other milestones.
For those with a connection to the bell-ringing community, a personalised bell can be a particularly meaningful gift or family heirloom. Every commission can be individually inscribed with names, dates, dedications, coats of arms or decorative motifs, creating a unique piece that can be enjoyed and rung for generations to come.
Bespoke Commissions
No two commissions are the same. From presentation bells and ceremonial gifts to estate bells, maritime bells and one-off private commissions, our foundry has the experience to create bells that are both beautiful and enduring.
If you have a project in mind, however large or small, we would be delighted to discuss your requirements and help bring your ideas to life.
