Atop the Arts and Crafts style Bournville Junior School is a 48 bell carillon. George Cadbury was inspired to build the carillon after viewing one in Bruges, which dates back to 1675. The Bournville Carillon can be heard most weekends. The British Carillon Society website http://www.carillons.org/ lists 15 carillons, mostly working.
