Great Bells (and other heavy bells) of Britain

Taken from lists in “Dove” (1st ed 1950 and 7th ed 1988), expanded and revised – especially (for bells over 2.5 tons) from the diary lists. Also searched foundry catalogues, notes from Loughborough, Croydon and Whitechapel foundry records etc. List of ringing bells over 25 cwt added from previous searches, now being extended down to cover all bells over a ton. The list therefore includes not only “great bells” proper (over 2 tons or other weight regarded as appropriate for the term) but also other bells weighing or at some time reputed to weigh over a ton.

The list covers bells in existence after (say) 1800, but with some earlier instances where details are available. Exact weights are used in preference to earlier estimated weights (e.g. “Great Tom” of Oxford”). Weights given as “xx 0 00” are mostly – but not all - approximate. There is, unfortunately, no way of marking the 00 entries (as approximate or exact) without losing the facility for sorting into weight order. Where bells have been retuned, old and new weights are given – mainly in the notes column (though the method of dealing with this is not yet entirely consistent)

Note: Ringing bells (i.e. those in ringing peals – others (e.g. single bells) may be hung for ringing, but these are not shown in bold) in bold and “lost” bells in italics. Lost ringing bells in bold and italic. DLC suggests putting entire entry in bold/italic (rather than just place name) – to be done later

Scope: This list can be regarded as pretty much complete down to (say) 25 cwt. Below that, coverage is fairly haphazard. Bells under 20 cwt have been included as representative of the work of historic or unusual founders - and no attempt has been made to include all examples by the major C20 and C21 bellfounders.

Search options: Word search (using cntrl/f). Sort (by place, date, founder, weight). Complex sort (e.g. by weight descending, then by date etc).

Editing: Issues to be resolved include – bells overseas (include or not?); method of dealing with retuned bells still extant – especially if there are several recorded weights over time (have generally shown present weight, with earlier weights in notes column – but this may not be wholly consistent yet); Bells relocated (e.g. Escrick, Perth, Todmorden) – included twice, with **** in “lost” column to indicate that the bell still exists, but elsewhere; Which weight to show in “weight” column (present or former) – determine method, and edit for consistency.

Acknowledgments: Special thanks are due to David Bryant, Jim Hedgcock, Bill Hibbert, Peter Furniss, Martin Smith, George Dawson, Alan Bagworth and David Cawley for corrections and additions to the original list; also to the bellfounders (John Taylor & Co, Whitechapel Bell Foundry and Gillett & Johnston) whose records have provided a great deal of the information
