Loughborough Carillon, War memorial bell tower and museum in Loughborough, United Kingdom.
The 46-meter tower contains 47 bells crafted by John Taylor Bell Foundry and features three floors dedicated to military artifacts and exhibitions.
Completed in 1923 as England's first grand carillon, the tower serves as a memorial to local servicemen who died during the First World War.
Regular bell recitals occur twice weekly from Easter through September, maintaining a musical tradition that spans over a century.
The tower includes a spiral staircase leading to multiple levels of exhibitions, though access remains limited to the ground floor for disabled visitors.
Edward Elgar composed Memorial Chimes for the tower's inauguration, with the manuscript rediscovered in 2012 after decades in council archives.
