The Parish Church of All Saints, Loughborough in Leicestershire

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from the Parish Church of All Saints, Loughborough in Leicestershire. The bulk of the current church was built in the 14th century and reflects the importance and prosperity of Loughborough in the medieval wool trade. It was extensively restored in the Victorian era under the direction of Sir George Gilbert Scott. The west tower houses ten bells that were cast between 1897 and 1899 at the nearby John Taylor Foundry. The back four bells are lost wax castings decorated with intricate designs. The tenor weighs thirty and a half hundredweight and is tuned to D flat. We hear them ringing Stedman Caters.
