Beverley Minster at 3 o clock

The clock chime at Beverley Minster, which is unique in that the quarter chimes are in the NW tower and the hour bell is in the SW tower. The Quarter bells are in the left hand tower and the hour bell (Great John) is in the right hand tower.

The tune is played on all ten bells of the utterly superb ring of ten bells, tenor 40cwt. The clock movement itself is in the tower, with some sort of trigger going across to the right hand tower to strike the hours. Great John is 7 1/2 tons

It is a very nice tune! When these bells are rung full circle, they are absolutely GLORIOUS!

@Audinos I am very impressed by some of these chiming machines over on the continent. One day I hope to see one in the flesh, or metal as it were

@SrWilson There are Dutch and Belgian carillons with much more complicated clock tunes than this, but this is still beautiful.
