The famous clock chime of Canterbury Cathedral. The chime hangs in the Northwest tower - the 'Arundel' tower - where it was placed in 1981. The five quarter-chime bells are a mix of the old ringing bells, mostly cast in the late 18th and mid-19th centuries, on which the hour was struck when the clock mechanism resided in the Southwest tower. Great Dunstan, the hour bell, weighs just over 3000kg and was cast in 1762, in the Cathedral precincts. It hung on the roof of the Southwest tower until 1981 when it was moved to the vacant belfry of the Arundel tower, and rehung for hammer- and swing-chiming. The clock mechanism was built in 1897. It was moved to the Arundel tower along with the bells in 1981, when it was electrified.
