John Taylor Bellfoundry Projects

Tetford, Lincolnshire. The Parish Church of St Mary.

September, 2025 | 2025 Projects

The tower of this church houses an ancient 11 cwt three that here rehung for automatic chiming with electro-magnetic hammers in 2003 by Eayre & Smith. Around that time the parish also acquired three second hand treble bells that were tuned to match. These bells have remained in the storage pits at Taylor’s for more than 20 years. Funds have now become available to complete this work so the bells will be hung for chiming in the existing bell frame with new dead stocks and electro-magnetic chiming hammers.

  • This work is in progress.
  • The bells have been conserved and tuned.
  • The new “deadstocks” have been manufactured and galvanised.
  • The deadstocks are being fitted to the bells..
  • All is ready for dispatch.

This Project has been completed.
