It was origi-nallyintendedthatitwouldbecalledtheRoy-alVictoriabell.

• The tower itself is named, not so creatively,the Clock Tower and is the third-tallest free-standing clock tower in the world. It’s the third towertobebuiltonParliament’sgrounds.Thefirst was begun in 1288 during the reign ofKingEdwardIandalsocontainedaclockandabellnamedGreatEdward,whichwasrungon the hour. This was replaced in 1367 with England’sfirstpublicchimingclock.Itstoodfor340years.

• WhenadevastatingfiredestroyedmuchofthepalaceofWestminsterin1834,theplanstore-build did not include a new tower. These plans were altered to include it in 1836, but actual construction of the current Clock Tower did not begin until 1843. Construction continued fornearly16years.Whentheclockwasfinal-lyinstalled,itwasdiscoveredthatitwouldn’twork because the cast iron minute hands were too heavy! They were replaced with lightercopper hands, and the four-sided clock began keepingtimeinMayof1859.TheGreatBellknown as Big Ben wasn’t rung for the firsttimeuntilthatJuly.

• JustastheClockTowerisn’tthefirst,neitherisBigBenthefirstbell.Thefirstonedevel-oped a four-inch crack while it was being test-edin1857,andanewonewascast.Sixteenwhitehorsespulledacarriagecarryingthebellto theNewPalaceYard. It took18 hours toraisethebellintothebelfry.Latein1859,twofractures were found in Big Ben. The hammer was replacedwith a lighter version, and thebell was rotated so that an undamaged section would be struck. This second bell still resides in the Tower.

• Thetoweris316feet(96.3m)tall,about16stories.Eachoftheclock’sfourdialsis23feetsquare(49.15sq.m).Theminutehandsare14feet (4.26 m) long, while the numerals are two feet (0.6 m) tall. The base of each dial contains aLatininscription,whichtranslates“OLord,keepsafeourQueenVictoriatheFirst.”

• DuringWorldWarI,thebellwasnotrung,andthe clock was unlit at night to protect it from GermanZeppelinattacks.DuringWorldWarII, the bells were rung, but also from a dark-ened tower.

• Althoughit’soneoftheworld’smostfamoustouristattractions,onlyUnitedKingdomresi-dents are allowed inside to tour Big Ben. Tours mustbebookedwellinadvanceonlythroughaParliamentmember,withparties limited to16 people, who must climb the 334 stairs to thetopofits11floors,sincethereisnoeleva-tor. F
