Big Ben is a well-known clock tower in London, located at the north end of Westminster Palace. It was finished in 1859. Charles Barry was the architect in charge of the building's design, but he solicited the help of Augustus Pugin to create ideas for the clock tower. When Barry died in 1851, the job was completed by Edward Ashworth and Henry Isaac Stevens. Ben means "son" in Hebrew, and it is said that the name Big Ben is derived from the fact that when the young prince Albert visited the site in 1858 he was so impressed by the size of the bell then known as Benjamin Routh's Son that he ordered that it be named after him. However, there is no evidence to support this story; instead, it appears to be a myth started by Barry's colleagues to explain why he had failed to include any reference to Prince Albert in his plans. The real reason may have been that Barry did not want to be associated with such a large project while still working on other important buildings, especially since Parliament had not yet agreed to pay him for his work. In any case, it can be assumed that if Barry had wanted to honor Prince Albert he would have included some indication of this in his plans. In addition to being an architect, Charles Barry was also an artist who designed many of the decorations used inside and outside the palace.
