That year Taylor's cast "Great Paul", which is the largest British cast bell in Britain, and destined to be hung in St Paul's Cathedral, it was rung for the first time in Loughborough on the 18th March 1882.
On the 20th May that year, as you can see in the image the bell left Loughborough for London.
I haven't found out yet if Thomas worked on the famous bell, it would be great if he did don't you think?
