The Hour Chime at Nottingham City Council House, including the hour strike on Little John.
Музыка
The bells in the Great Dome of the Council House in Market Square, Nottingham, United Kingdom, strike 10am. They strike the Westminster quarters, with the 4th Quarter Jack weighing just over 3 tons, before finally tolling the hour on the great bell, Little John, which weighs 10 tons, 7 cwt, and 27 lbs. Little John is named after the character in the tales of Robin Hood which is associated with the county of Nottinghamshire.
The bells were cast in 1928 by John Taylor & Co, Loughborough, on completion of the new Council House building. They have been tolling ever since. These were the deepest toned clock chime in Great Britain until the connecting of Great Peter to the clock at York Minster in 2000. Great Peter is about 9 cwt heavier and hence there is literally a matter of a couple of hertz in it!
These bells are really superb, and sound absolutely fantastic both close up and outside. Apologies for the poor sound recording, they are quite deafening up close. It is a pity that these never formed the base bells for a Carillon (there is certainly space up there), or were ever hung for swing chiming. Better still, hung for English Full Circle Ringing!

My dad works near there, can see the view perfectly of the clock, fantastic at night!
Is it just me, or do I fell like falling asleep when the quarter bells chime.
Often hear that just as I’m walking past the Robin Hood statue outside the castle.. which is unfortunate, because it means I’m late for work
Being THAT CLOSE to a bell that loud I'm sure tickles the skin of every person in that room.

Sounds like the deepest quarter chiming bell needs some oil. It squeaks when the hammer moves down to strike the bell.
All through this hour Lord, be my guide that by thy power no foot shall slide. dong . dong. dong.
Ok so this is interesting this video was published in 2010 and the clock striked ten

Big Ben is the 13 and a half ton bell brought into london by 16 horses in the 18 hundreds. The bell was cast in 1834. The bell in this video is called Little John. It may look like big ben but the bell is a bit smaller and the hammer make a different sound to it when struck. 🔔
