🕰🔔 Come with us to wind our clock 🔔🕰

We've filmed an exclusive behind the scenes so you can see how we're able to keep our clock ticking away!

Who else is amazed that this 135 year old mechanism is still able to tell us the time today?

Listen out for some lovely ringing on our bells this evening 👂

We've got a visiting band of ringers who will be attempting to complete a quarter peal 🔔

For those who don't know - a quarter peal is when the bells are rung for around 45 minutes and a minimum of 1260 changes are rung.

If you've got a band of ringers wanting to visit our tower we'd be delighted to host you! Get in touch via our page or email [email protected]

Tower captains Phil and Dom have been to London today for a tour of Elizabeth tower! They got to learn about the history of the tower, see the clock mechanism in action and stand next to the iconic Big Ben bell as it struck 3 o'clock 🔔

Did you know that the current clock at St Margaret's has been hand wound since it's installation in 1889 and the last 43 years of winding has been done by our tower captains. Thank you for keeping the clock going all these years Phil and Dom! 🕰
