A foundry which crafted a carillon to remember those who died in World War One is hoping to forge a new bell for Covid-19 victims and key workers.
Under the plans John Taylor & Co, Britain s last such foundry, would make a Hope Bell for Loughborough, Leicestershire, its base since 1839.
The bell, part of a plan by the Loughborough Town Deal, would cost about £150,000 to install.
If approved, the tribute could be ready next year.
