  • A Replica of the Stretch Clock Recently Reinstated at the West End of Independence Hall
    A replica of the Stretch clock recently reinstated at the west end of Independence Hall. (Photograph taken by the author in summer of 197J.) THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY The Stretch Qlock and its "Bell at the State House URING the spring of 1973, workmen completed the construc- tion of a replica of a large clock dial and masonry clock D case at the west end of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the original of which had been installed there in 1753 by a local clockmaker, Thomas Stretch. That equipment, which resembled a giant grandfather's clock, had been removed in about 1830, with no other subsequent effort having been made to reconstruct it. It therefore seems an opportune time to assemble the scattered in- formation regarding the history of that clock and its bell and to present their stories. The acquisition of the original clock and bell by the Pennsylvania colonial Assembly is closely related to the acquisition of the Liberty Bell. Because of this, most historians have tended to focus their writings on that more famous bell, and to pay but little attention to the hard-working, more durable, and equally large clock bell. They have also had a tendency either to claim or imply that the Liberty Bell and the clock bell had been procured in connection with a plan to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary, or "Jubilee Year," of the granting of the Charter of Privileges to the colony by William Penn. But, with one exception, nothing has been found among the surviving records which would support such a contention.

  • Campaign Fact Book Former Whitechapel Bell Foundry Site Whitechapel, London
    Campaign Fact Book Former Whitechapel Bell Foundry Site Whitechapel, London Compiled January 2020 Whitechapel Bell Foundry: a matter of national importance This fact book has been compiled to capture the breadth of the campaign to save the site of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, which is currently threatened by a proposal for conversion into a boutique hotel. Re-Form Heritage; Factum Foundation; numerous community, heritage and bellringing organisations; and thousands of individuals have contributed to and driven this campaign, which is working to: reinstate modern and sustainable foundry activity on the site preserve and record heritage skills integrate new technologies with traditional foundry techniques maintain and build pride in Whitechapel’s bell founding heritage The site of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry is Britain’s oldest single-purpose industrial building where for generations bells such as Big Ben, the Liberty Bell, Bow Bells and many of the world’s great bells were made. Bells made in Whitechapel have become the voices of nations, marking the world’s celebrations and sorrows and representing principles of emancipation, freedom of expression and justice. As such these buildings and the uses that have for centuries gone on within them represent some of the most important intangible cultural heritage and are therefore of international significance. Once the use of the site as a foundry has gone it has gone forever. The potential impact of this loss has led to considerable concern and opposition being expressed on an unprecedented scale within the local area, nationally and, indeed, internationally. People from across the local community, London and the world have voiced their strong opposition to the developer’s plans and to the hotel use and wish for the foundry use to be retained.

  • Campanologist Chronicles
    CAMPANOLOGIST CHRONICLES This a tremendous history of the bells in St Andrew’s Parish Church. The oldest dates from the time of Queen Elizabeth, in 1595 for bells 5 and 6, 1654 for the 4th, 1738 for the 3rd and 7th and 1759 for the 10¾cwt tenor. In all the bells weigh 43cwt, just over 2 tons. Following the village’s centuries old tradition of ringing church bells, the current band of ringers has been making steady progress. Unfortunately, over the years the bells have become increasingly difficult to ring, which makes teaching new recruits difficult and produces poor quality ringing. As with all mechanical devices, bells require periodic maintenance, and it is usual for bells and their fittings to require major attention every 50 years or so. The last major work to St Andrew’s bells was carried out seventy years ago in 1947, so now is the time for the current generation to take action, so that the bells can be enjoyed by future generations. Recent inspections from three bell hanging firms have highlighted the poor installation and condition of the fittings, most of which date from the 19th century and appear not to have been renewed back in 1947, during the period of austerity after the war when funds would have been scarce. At that time the eight-bell frame was installed and the two treble bells, as part of a war memorial. Significantly this was the last timber frame to be supplied by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry. Sadly, the foundry, the oldest in the world and Britain's oldest manufacturing company, which made Big Ben and Liberty Bell, closed earlier this year.

  • The Liberty Bell by Katie Clark
    Name : The Liberty Bell by Katie Clark Have you heard of the Liberty Bell? It stands for freedom. It was used by America’s founders. The bell was made over 200 years ago. It was made from metals like tin and copper. It was made by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in London. The bell cracked the !rst time it was rung. It has cracked many times since then. The bell is no longer rung. This is to protect it. The last time it was rung was in 1846. That was in honor of George Washington’s birthday. The bell is very big. It weighs over one ton, or two thousand pounds. It is three feet tall. Over one million people visit the bell each year. It is at a place called Liberty Bell Hall. It still hangs from its very !rst yoke. A yoke is the wood that holds the bell. A picture of the bell has been printed on coins and postage stamps. It is very special to see this piece of history.
