Did you know
SAINT DUNSTAN
The Patron Saint of Bell Ringers. He was born in AD 909 and died in May AD 988. He was Abbott of Glastonbury, Bishop of Worcester, Bishop of London and then Archbishop of Canterbury. He was a much loved priest attending to the spiritual needs of his people, promoting peace throughout the land, and restoring churches. By being concerned with the architectural fabric of the Church allowed his creative side to experiment with and develop the design and forging of bells. It was his success in this and the subsequent importance given to the role that the sound of bells had among communities across the land that endeared him to bell ringers which lasts to this day. He is buried in Canterbury Cathedral and is acknowledged on the right hand side of the High Altar. He was later canonized and his Feast Day is May 19th.
FOUNDRIES
WHITECHAPEL
The monasteries originally established foundries for themselves with St. Dunstan a leading light on the craft but the first commercial works were founded in East London in 1570. This was the Whitechapel Foundry which is considered the oldest manufacturing company in Britain. Its work has continued unbroken in the creation of bells of all sizes with a short break during the war when they had to divert their skills to producing armaments. The largest bell ever cast was Big Ben which weighs 13 and half tons. The world’s first peal of 16 change ringing bells was installed by the Foundry in 1991 in St. Martin’s, Bull Ring in Birmingham.
The original foundry was consumed by the Great Fire and so the present buildings date from 1670 and are now Grade II listed. The longevity of the foundry is such that they have celebrated 400 years of existence during which time twenty seven monarchs have reigned. The Whitechapel Foundry now has a worldwide fame creating bells for cathedrals and churches all over the world. It has played a hugely important role in the evolvement of casting, the technology of hanging the bells and in the manner in which they are rung.
