List of carillons of the British Isles

Carillons, musical instruments in the percussion family with at least 23 cast bells and played with a keyboard, are found throughout the British Isles as a result of the First World War.

Poets – often exaggerating reality – wrote that the Belgian carillons were in mourning and awaited to ring out on the day of the country's liberation.

Edward Elgar composed a work for orchestra which includes motifs of bells and a spoken text anticipating the victory of the Belgian people.

[4] Following the war, countries in the Anglosphere built their own carillons to memorialise the lives lost and to promote world peace,[2] including two in England.

[6] In 2019, playing this cathedral's carillon was recognized by the Irish government as key element of the country's living cultural heritage.
