Classic Tour Museum

Join our expert guides for an immersive tour of Taylor’s Bellfoundry, perfect for individuals, families, and small groups (2–9 people). Witness skilled craftspeople at work and discover the fascinating bellfounding process.

Your tour begins with a short introduction to John Taylor & Co.’s history before stepping inside our Victorian factory. Visit the covered yard, where bells arrive for repairs and depart for new homes. See the joinery shop, where craftspeople create essential components like bell wheels and carillon claviers. In the tuning shop, experience how the iconic Taylor’s bell sound is perfected. You’ll also access the casting hall viewing platform and watch a short video on the bellfounding process.

Museum: Entry to our interactive museum is included! Explore two galleries dedicated to the history and craft of bellfounding.
