Oranges and Lemons is an old English nursery rhyme.  It refers to chiming bells of 6 churches in and around old London.  The words in rhyme sound like to bells of each church.

"Oranges and lemons", say the bells of St. Clement's
"You owe me five farthings", say the bells of St. Martin's
"When will you pay me?" say the bells of Old Bailey
"When I grow rich", say the bells of Shoreditch
"When will that be?" say the bells of Stepney
"I do not know", says the great bell of Bow
Here comes a candle to light you to bed
And here comes a chopper to chop off your head!  

We've added two more interesting churches to the list.
