The foundry has an extensive Website which gives details of current operations and a small amount of historical information.  It also presents explanations and illustrations of a variety of different ways of hanging and ringing bells, and offers some sound clips.  There is a page devoted to the Bellfoundry Museum, including the schedule of open hours.

History:

Bill Hibbert has made available the Taylor foundry history up to 1960.

A 1995 article on the Taylor foundry and museum

Effective 1 July 2005, John Taylor Bellfounders merged with Eayre & Smith, Bellhangers.  The merged firm operated under the name Taylors Eayre & Smith, using the foundry property in Loughborough.

Effective 19 October 2009, the bellfoundry is again operating under the historic name of John Taylor & Co., with new ownership and management.

In its earliest 4-octave carillons, the Taylor bellfoundry used a novel technology to get more sound from the treble end of the range.  For details, see our page on Taylor's doubled trebles.
