history
This Taylor carillon was commissioned for and hung in Mostyn House School in Parkgate. In July 2010 the school closed and the carillon has been installed at Charterhouse, as per the wishes of the original donors. The frame, transmission and clavier at Mostyn House were not suitable for reuse at Charterhouse and have been replaced. This work was also carried out by Taylor’s. The new clavier is configured to allow for possible future augmentation to four and a half octaves (one octave above and half an octave below the existing three).
