Handbell

British bell manufacturer enjoying rush of fame in advance of Queen’s jubilee, Olympics

The Whitechapel Foundry has been making bells for more than four centuries. They’ve made the bell atop Big Ben, in Westminster Abby and a host of less prominent ones as well. Now, the foundry’s employees are enjoying some very high-profile work — a series of bells for Queen Elizabeth’s diamond jubilee and another bell for the Olympics.
