Loughborough, Leicestershire, The Hope Bell Project.





Charnwood Borough Council has commissioned the casting of a Westminster Chime of five bells - largest 25 cwts to be hung in an independent structure in Queen's Park, Loughborough. The bells will form a lasting memorial to residents who died in the Covid19 outbreak, and remember all those public servants who put themselves at risk dealing with the pandemic.


  • All the bells have now been cast and fettled, and the manufacture of the supporting structure will begin later this year before being erected near the Loughborough carillon tower..

  • The manufacturing of the massive free standing structure in which the bells will hang is underway.

  • Construction of the free standing bell structure is taking place in our "girder store" where sufficient height is available.

  • The tuning of the bells is underway.

  • The four quarter bells have been tuned and sound beautiful.

  • The hour bell has now been tuned and it's a stunner!

  • The free standing bell frame structure has been returned from the galvanisers and has been erected in Queen's Park.
