Nice picture, but it is of the Clock Tower, not St. Stephen's Tower

Zoom in on London from the air - photo 1.
Sorry, but that's not St Stephen's Tower in the photo, that's the Clock Tower. Fancy someone from a village in the middle of Cornwall having to tell you about your own fair city, and one of its most popular landmarks too ! Mind you, you're not alone. From a sample Google search totay, 4 out of 5 sites got it wrong too. The St Stephen's Entrance & Hall aro roughly in the middle of the Palace.
The largest of the five bells in the Clock Tower - Big Ben - was arguably named after Benjamin Hall, Clerk of the Works during the mid-19th century re-build. Whoever it was named after, I'm just glad that his Christian name wasn't Richard.
