There is a fine 1893 drum chime (called a "carillon" on the original 
1893 plaque) at St. Peter's Church, Chertsey, Surrey.

<http://stpeterschertsey.f2s.com/StPeters/bells/carillon.htm> >

It plays four hymns, : "We love the place, O God (Quam dilecta)" (8am), 
"Home Sweet Home (comp. Sir Henry Bishop)" (1pm), "Lord, dismiss us with

thy blessing (Sicilian Mariners)" (5pm) and "The day is past and over 
(St. Anatolius)" (10pm), all of which have recordings on the above web
page.

It is triggered by a fine flat-bed clock with a double three-legged 
gravity escapement made by Smiths of Derby and installed in 1892 - again

a recording is available on the link below, although the chime is the 
standard Cambridge one.
