One of my favourite YouTubers was a gentleman called Tom Scott. For a number of years he put out frequent, high-quality videos on all sorts of interesting things – often quite niche topics but ones that often appealed to me. Then he declared that he needed to take a break and so he did. I’ve seen him online once or twice recently as a guest on videos by various friends and collaborators of his but this afternoon was his first proper release in a new series he is embarking on where he visits each county in the UK.

You can imagine my delight when he decided to kick off not just in Leicestershire but in Loughborough. Taylors of Loughborough is the UKs only remaining bell foundry and that was where he decided to begin. Watch the video below for an informative video on the casting of bells:
