John Murphy (
fl. 1837 – 1879) was an Irish
bellfounder. His foundry, which started making bells in 1843, cast bells for many churches in Ireland and elsewhere, including several
rings of bells hung for
change ringing.
Murphy's foundry, which carried on under his son, John J. Murphy (died 1948), continued to produce bells until 1900.[1]
List of towers with bells by the Murphy foundry
Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin (1844, 1845, 1877. The old
Rudhall ring of eight (1738) was retained, with some bells recast, and the ring was augmented to ten bells in B. The tenor was recast in 1979 by
John Taylor & Co and in 1999 the bells were augmented to nineteen, the most change-ringing bells in any tower in the world.)[2][3][4]
Church of the Immaculate Conception,
Wexford (single bell in 1858,[1] augmented to nine in 1882,[7] recast into a ring of ten by
Gillett and Johnson in 1931)[8]
