The historic Bow Bells of St Mary-le-Bow Church in London do not ring on the hour, every hour. Instead, they are rung regularly for church services, practices by ringing societies, and to mark the traditional 9 PM curfew. Historically, they are known for signaling the end of an apprentice's working day.
