In this museum, Taylor's Bellfoundry, has created a permanent record of the company and the industry, telling the story of bellfounding through the ages. An extensive range of exhibits and memorabilia tells the story of one of the oldest manufacturing industries in the world. A visit to the museum may be enhanced by a tour of the foundry and the works. This is especially exciting at the time of bell casting.
