Philip Serrerll looks into the Taylors Bell Foundry in Loughborough. The present company is part of a line of bellfounders dating back to Johannes de Stafford in the 14th century. The Taylor family became involved in 1784 and a foundry was established on the current site in 1839. They were the first bellfounder to adopt "true-harmonic" tuning in the late 19th century.
