The 280-foot (85 m) bell tower, housing a carillon of 23 bells, the last 12 of them are hung for full circle change ringing and were manufactured by John Taylor Bellfounders. The clock bell, Great Abel, is named after Heywood and weighs 8 tons 2.5 cwt. It is inscribed with the initials AH and the Tennyson line Ring out the false, ring in the true. The clock is by Gillett and Bland (predecessor of Gillett and Johnston) and was originally wound using hydraulic power supplied by Manchester Hydraulic Power.
