The Hour Chime at Nottingham City Council House, including the hour strike on Little John.
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!
