Big Ben was cast on 10 April 1858 making it 1541/3 years old.

It was hung in October 1858 in the Clock Tower (which is due to be renamed in honour of Queen Elizabeth II's 60 Year [so far] reign) and first rung out on 11 July 1859; however in September 1859 a crack developed in the bell and it was silent for 4 years until a repair was effected.
