Rung at 2 pm marks a long standing custom once signaling recharge end, now marked by the Exchange opening later. A first Sunday after Christmas an orange on a plate and two chairs appear inside the Savoy Chapel door. Authorities cannot explain the ritual, yet it endures as a vague nod to Nell Gywn, famed actress and mistress of Charles II.
