In 1840, Charles Barry won the design for the new palace, which included the clock tower. A fire at the Palace of Westminster was also predicted, with a report dating back to 1789 signed by fourteen architects, complaining about the dangers of a fire at the Palace. There were a few major players, namely: Charles Barry (architect), Edmund Beckett Denison (clock designer), Sir George Airy (Astronomer Royal and Referee), Edward Dent (clockmaker), and Frederick Dent (Edward’s son and clockmaker).ġ834, the Palace of Westminster is almost completely destroyed by a fire that broke out after two underfloor stoves ignited the paneling inside the building.
To better answer this question we can look at the clock, tower, and bell.
