Big Ben Lilliput Lane CollectableHand made and hand painted model of Big Ben. Completed in
1854, the bells of the Great Clock of Westminster rang
across London for the first time on 31st May 1859 and
Parliament had a special sitting to decide on a suitable
name for the great hour bell. The most accepted version of
how it got its name, was that it was named after Sir
Benjamin Hall - who spoke at length about it at this
special sitting of parliament and we have known it as Big
Ben ever since.
