Thank you (and your helpers) for taking us around the normally unseen parts of this lovely building. The clock itself I could watch all day. Loved seeing the hourly striking, and the bells in action.
Merry Christmas to you and your beloved ones. Thanks for this fascinating video, I am not religious, but appreciate our churches more like cultural heritage. You've (and of course your son) covered everything I would have been interested in, no questions left. Thanks again.
That was wonderful Collin, those old clocks always amaze me with how intricate the mechanism is and how accurate they can be. I hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Happy holidays Colin and to your family! I know it's probably safe to be up there but knowing the weight of those bells and all that kit, on an old wood floor would give me jelly legs!
Fabulous video Colin, thank you. Fascinating to see clock movement parts that I'm very familiar with, but on such a larger scale. That tick!!!! Reminded me of going up "The Elizabeth Tower" (before it was called that), walking behind the four clock faces, watching the bells peeling before Big Ben strikes, then seeing the entire movement, the HUGE fly that was ridiculously noisy, and the slowest tick....heaven. Merry Yealmpton Xmas to you all
Fascinating. Our town's church has a clock which I think dated to the 1950s. I'm not sure what it had before then. But that got replaced with a modern electrical one a few years ago.

That was awesome. And the clock is a marvel of engineering.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

This was a really good, relaxing boxing day watch on the telly while I was waiting for the roasties to finish. Merry Christmas Colin

Bells do count as audio technology!
Thanks - for posting this 'diversion' from 'Normal Service'
I have the same key (size tupe ) for my storm door .
Just the one ,but it's really hard to lose :).
thanks for sharing that was cool
I wonder if the discarded crank was used to wind the striker before it was automated.
Or...just a duplicate winder.
No, the smaller handle on the right side was for that.
The hatch is for getting the bells in and out
Yes, that would certainly be an added function.
