There's really no need for this. Its not a religious thing - the bells were used to tell people the time before everyone owned a clock/watch of their own. Its no longer required for them to do this, and most churches no longer do - apart from Sunday morning call to prayer.

Perhaps having a word with the bell ringers would be a good idea, or if its automated, having a word with the local council as its quite frankly anti-social.

It seems to me we 'used to do' a lot, and we did a lot better.
The more we 'advance', the more society seems to regress.

Or just don't buy a house near a church.

I agree that it would be annoying, and I wouldn't want to hear them at 7am, but buying the house and then complaining is like people who buy a house next to an airport or a racing circuit and then complain about the noise.

I'd take this though

Utterly wonderful.

And pretty good value for Como

Seems really cheap considering? I would have guessed at £20m for that.

Fabulous.

But you're not getting the house for that, only a 4 bed apt.

Or an alcoholic that owns a few guitars

Anyone fancy owning 2400 acres of Daniel O Donnells back yard?

This is interesting http://www.rightmove.co.uk/new-homes-for-sale/prop...

I don't particularly like it, it's a bit cold for me - but it's certainly something different.

£24 million pounds could get you a lot more elsewhere.

Whats wrong with it?

He has one in Battersea. Looks over the Houses of Parliament.

Just up the road from me, drove past it a few times being built.

And in walking distance of the local race track.

All I'm saying is it's not being done for religious reasons. Its origin is to let people know the time, so that farm workers etc turn up on time for work and don't get flogged by the land owners. Of course, this belongs to the early 1900s at the latest.

I wouldn't dream of buying such a place even if I could. Just stating facts about the practice.

There's a reason why you can buy 400 year old grand father clocks for peanuts these days. They're not wanted, not needed, bloody annoying and should be consigned to another time. People that have them usually have the chimes disabled or don't bother fixing them once they conveniently break. Most people have moved on from having a clock chime away during the day....

Bit like churches too. No one goes anymore do they? Births deaths and marriages, and the later is becoming quite unfashionable.

But of course people have got to get upset when someone states the obvious....

It's not TOO bad. Not exactly to my taste, but at the same time, you'd have to really want that house to pay £3mil+ for that, even with 100+ acres.

Indeed, I stayed at the hotel opposite for a week, hotel was crap but I'd live in the area in a heartbeat.
