When was the tubular bells or chimes invented?

Tubular bells were invented in the 13th century in England. They were originally used in churches and monasteries, and were made of bronze or brass. The bells were hung in a frame, and were struck with a hammer. Tubular bells were used to call the monks to prayer, and to signal the start and end of services.

Chimes are a type of musical instrument that consists of a set of tuned bells that are struck with a hammer. They are similar to tubular bells, but are usually smaller and made of metal. Chimes were invented in the 16th century in the Netherlands. They were originally used in churches, but are now also used in other settings, such as schools, concert halls, and parks.
