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!
These bells are wonderful!!! They are in a great place...Mom was from Nottingham ...when I play The Bells thru my TV and external speakers ...close my eyes and I'm there !!! Wish it was that easy !!!
😊
I can hear this bell from my home in mapperley, 3 miles away clear as day.
I can hear it in Bestwood at night... 3.4 miles away
The big bell 0:50
@@thehoneyeffect u can actually hear the bells for 7 miles away
Being THAT CLOSE to a bell that loud I'm sure tickles the skin of every person in that room.
(ears bleeding) WHAT?!
Is it just me, or do I fell like falling asleep when the quarter bells chime.
My dad works near there, can see the view perfectly of the clock, fantastic at night!
0:25 love this sound
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
I forgot about these bells!!!!! Notts council house was actually quite pretty and those two lions made it look awesome!
They sound perfectly toned.
Notts Council House(County Hall) is across the river... This is Nottm Council house... If ya born n bred Nottm you'd know mi duck😉
When big ben is down for repairs, little john backs him up.
Coolboyjake27 lol he’s louder is that next to him
Yeah. :)
I love that comment and honestly if he knows whats good he will keep going while London is getting repaired. This is amazing
That fourth qtr jack would make a lovely tenor bell of a ringing peal!

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. 🔔
Big Ben is much bigger and can’t be miss judged for this bell

It's true. Those bells are pretty loud but pretty musical.
Yes...

Wow, Little John hits so loud... Hope the bear (as Phil Harris) doesn't recognize this...
That’s in the UK
Uk? I did not know that.
Lol love how this gets reccomend to me when it was realesed 10 years ago and the clock struck at 10 am lol
Drunk Monday morning after a weekend bender hearing this to wife:Boy was I hammered!
Ok so this is interesting this video was published in 2010 and the clock striked ten
All through this hour
Lord, be my guide
that by thy power
no foot shall slide. dong . dong. dong.
Sounds like the deepest quarter chiming bell needs some oil. It squeaks when the hammer moves down to strike the bell.
These bells are vibrating 🔔🔔🔔
If you don't mind me asking, how did you get up into the belfry? I would love to know as it would be a pleasure to film inside, thank you! :)
Little John is the deepest toned striking bell in the UK.
.... Which ones little John?
@@khandiieamerson1039 Little John is the hour bell (the big one in the middle). It's named for the character in Robin Hood
Not that low as Big Ben but that's just my Point of View
That's chime does sound like big Ben in London
The hour strike for sure. The actual chime here is in E flat major, where BB's is in F-major.
WOW THAT 4th IS AMAZING! 00:28
Also I like that chime at 00:27
Beautiful bells. Sound very nice
The hour bell never even cracked at all
@@ag6371 Maybe the metal layer of Little john is much thicker than big ben
The clock mechanism is on top of the belfry/rotunda unlike Big Ben where it’s under the bells
The big bell is called little John but big john
Big Ben and Little John could once be brothers
Well he's not little.

The Chimes sound like the big Ben
Omfg I live in Nottingham and I have heard that sound 13 times now I just block my ears when I hear it
Try standing in the arcade where some shops and a cafe are underneath the dome and it sounds quite loud .
Me too. I live ere and we ain't never bin ter see them cos I took the bird on an excellent tours of the Chambers but we wasn't allowed up ter see the bells or the gubbins. C'mon Notts Council, open The Cansil Ahse up. Please!

I love this clock tower.
making this my ringtone.
Ooh, we love that sound!
The four bells don’t go till quarter to but the hammer is not like the one Big Ben is
Hey, despite a bit of distortion on the striking of the hour, it sounds great!
*big ben and his cousin little john*
big ben and little jhon can't see each other but they know each other's chime
LSPD STOP WHAT YOUR DOING!! yes big ben is in london
Big ben is undergoing renovations right now. But little John is taking over for now!
They might be brothers or sister and when they here each other chin sit means they are talking to each other they are like hi bro what ya doin lol
Tá bom
Is the striking location ever rotated on the larger bell. There seems to be a worn spot on it.
Reminds me of big ben. But the school across me has the same westminster chime too.
In the left corner, we have Great Peter, and In the right corner, we have off brand Big Ben
That is amazing 😊😊
That bell was big
This is like the sound of Westminster Elizabeth tower,Big Ben
cristina perez I know
Alot of clocks do that
Well i mean clock tower
I agree to you
Except the big one in the middle has a different hammer
Isn't the sound extremely loud within the clock tower?
Deafening
Can you record the this clock mechanism?
yes pls
How heavy are the bells in the council house compared to Big Ben?
Big ben clock and the other bells are nice to this clock
This isn't big ben.l, it's little John.
Is that in England
Yes, in Nottingham.
@@bexie1992 oh ok thanks
the huge Bell reminds me of great tom
Tom tower or St Paul’s?

Little john the big bell rang 10 times which means its 10 o clock.

Great pun!!!
Quarter bells are quet to the big bell
One of the finest clock strikes in the country, Lincoln Cathedral comes in as joint first.

They probably covered their ears when the chimes rang

0:39 THEY TOLL FOR THEE
I can imagine how harsh it is for the ears in person
BIG BEN
Why do I have a feeling in every city the bell that chimes is like From Five Nights At Freddy's?
The same tune was used in FNaF ^^
BIG BEN'S BROTHER.
Gacha Gamer [Expensive] true
It is sort of like big Big Ben but still very nice :)
I got the same idea haha
It’s because in the UK we use the same chimes for most of our clocks, they are called the westminster chimes
I really like that clock but I still prefer big Ben’s chimes
YEAH.
