It had caused problems since its first casting, wearing out its clapper, and was recast in 1626 and 1654, but without solving the problem (there is no evidence of a recasting in 1612<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>). </p><p>In 1678–79, Richard Keene of <a href="/wiki/Woodstock,_Oxfordshire" title="Woodstock, Oxfordshire">Woodstock</a> tried three times to recast the bell, in the process increasing its weight from two to over six tons, but it was not until a final recasting in 1680—by <a href="/wiki/Christopher_Hodson_(bell-founder)" class="mw-redirect" title="Christopher Hodson (bell-founder)">Christopher Hodson</a>, a bell-founder from London—that success was achieved, and the resulting bell, Great Tom, was hung in the newly completed Tom Tower. It was rehung in May 1953. There is an inscription on the bell in <a href="/wiki/Latin_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Latin language">Latin</a>, which translated reads: </p> <blockquote><p>"Great Thomas the door closer of Oxford renovated April 8, 1680 in the reign of <a href="/wiki/Charles_II_of_England" title="Charles II of England">Charles II</a>. Deacon John, the Bishop of Oxford and sub-Deacon give thanks to the knowledge of Henry Smith and the care and workmanship of Christopher Hodson".</p></blockquote> <p>Great Tom is still sounded 101 times every night, which signifies the 100 original scholars of the college plus one (added in 1663). It is rung at 21:05 current UK time, which corresponds to 21:00 in what used to be "<a href="/wiki/Oxford_time" title="Oxford time">Oxford time</a>" (local mean time for Oxford, noon in Oxford always occurring five minutes later than noon in Greenwich),<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and was at one time the signal for all the Oxford colleges to lock their gates. The bell is only rung by swinging on very special occasions. The bell is the subject of a number of <a href="/wiki/Oxfordshire" title="Oxfordshire">Oxfordshire</a> <a href="/wiki/Morris_dance" title="Morris dance">Morris tunes</a> and <a href="/wiki/Round_(music)" title="Round (music)">rounds</a>, including "Old Tom of Oxford" (from <a href="/wiki/Bampton,_Oxfordshire" title="Bampton, Oxfordshire">Bampton</a>), and the rounds "Great Tom Is Cast" and "Bonny Christ Church Bells", which were composed by the Dean of Christ Church, <a href="/wiki/Henry_Aldrich" title="Henry Aldrich">Henry Aldrich</a> (1647–1710). However, "Great Tom Is Cast" is also credited to Matthew White as having been written in 1667. The two versions are identical except for two notes. Considering the dates, it is likely that White is the real author of the piece.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
