Two other named bells are 'Great Tom' in the Clocktower of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, and the 'Czar Kolokol ' or 'Tsar Bell', In the Kremlin in Russia. This bell is cracked, and so has never been rung.
There probably many more bells aroun the world with names, including the Liberty Bell in Philapelphia . USA.
