Attention to Time.

The Grenadier Quarterjack on the north wall of the Minster at Wimborne.
He strikes the bell twice on the quarter hour,four on the half hour, six times for the three quarters and finally eight on the hour. Seems to get in right most of the time. Been on duty up there since the start of the Napoleonic War in 1799.
