This evening I happened to hear the nearby church's bell tolling 10 pm, and 
thought 
that 100+ years ago this could have been the "official" time of the town, 
which 
maybe was used by people to set their own clocks (if any). But then I 
wondered, 
who told the priest what time was it? To what extent the clocks of two towns 
were expected to be close to one another? Does anybody know?
