John Taylor Bellfounders continues a line of bellfounding which has been unbroken since the middle of the 14th Century, when Johannes de Stafford was active only 10 miles from the site of the present foundry.

Since 1784 the business has been in the hands of the Taylor family.

In 1839 the business settled in Loughborough and is now proud to operate the largest bellfoundry in the world.

"Their sound has gone into all lands" since the middle of the 14th Century Taylors products have been exported world wide.

The largest bell in Britain, "Great Paul", the massive Bourdon bell at St Paul's Cathedral in London, was cast in Loughborough in 1881, weight 17,002 kgs, 37,483 pounds.

Centuries of experience, together with up to the minute advances in technology, has put Taylors at the forefront in the design and manufacture of bells, their fittings and frameworks for all methods of sounding bells.
