Whittington chimes, also called St. Mary's, are a family of clock chime melodies associated with St Mary-le-Bow church in London,[1]: 5 which is related to the historical figure of Whittington by legend.
Whittington is usually the secondary chime selection for most chiming clocks, the first being the Westminster. It is also one of two clock chime melodies with multiple variations, the other being the Ave Maria chimes.
Before the name Whittington became common, the melody used to be referred to as “chimes on eight bells”.[2] However, evidence suggests it was originally a chime on six bells – a melody that has not been in use at St Mary-le-Bow since 1666.[citation needed] In 1905, based on what was known about the six-bell version, Sir Charles Villiers Stanford composed a new melody (still called Whittington chimes[3]) that uses 11 out of the 12 bells in the tower of St Mary-le-Bow;[1]: 5 this 11-bell version is the one now used at that church.[4]
