Talk:Benjamin Hall, 1st Baron Llanover

Untitled

Probably a stupid question.. Did he really have a brother called Richard? EvilFred

…Is this figure related to Sir James Hall of Douglas Fourth Baronet 1761-1832 1:12A.M. E.S.T.David George DeLancey (talk) 06:12, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Big Ben

quote: "Big Ben", in the clock tower. He was a tall man and many attribute its name to him, but this is questionable. end quote Leydse courant, 27 October 1856 already reported that the bell was named after Sir Benjamin Hall. https://www.kb.nl/historische-kalender/2016/27-oktober-1856-big-ben . Other newspapers around the world reported likewise. IMHO this attribution is clearly correct with so many 1856 sources, so the 1857 attribution to Benjamin Caunt (who is not related to Westminster or clock in any other way) is more than questionable. There are more flaws in the story of this clock on the http://www.whitechapelbellfoundry.co.uk/bigben.htm page. They're bell founders, not historians.Maggy (talk) 09:25, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
