Clocks before clocks: sundials, water clocks, candles and hourglasses, sentence 11

The word "clock" comes from an old word for bell, because they rang the hours: Salisbury Cathedral's clock, from about 1386, still has no face and just strikes the hours.

Who acts: word, Sailors, clock · What happens: come, ring, have, strike · To what, where: old word, face
