  • Loughborough Parish Church, a stately building in the town centre, has an equally stately ring of bells to match it. In 1838, the old ring were recast, and Taylor's moved to Loughborough to do the job, and stayed there. They moved to new purpose-built premises in 1859, and they recast the bells again around 1898 to create a "showpiece" ring for Taylors. The A-Frame dates from 1887, and the go and ease of ringing is very reasonable with a bit of effort, and they feel well maintained!

    The Foundry Campanile were cast in 1899 as an experimental light ring. They were later augmented to 10, and in 2012 were completely refurbished, and augmented to 12. The 10 are nice, the 12 are as to be expected for their weight, but I thought the old back 8 were disappointing. A great little novelty ring though!!

    you also forgot to mention that the back four bells of the church were cast using the lost wax process of casting

    Do you know what the extra ropes were for in the church (between 3-4 and 10-1)? the one beside the tenor looks like it's got a ringers knot in it

      Often enough the extra ropes between bells are the sharp or flat alternative of the bell. They are used to create a lighter 6 or 8 or a different scale. Worcester Cathedral have a few of these bells so they can ring what is known as a "Harmonic minor 10"
