Follow these directions:
1) Wait for the clock to strike the next hour and count the hour. (no matter where the hands are located)
2) Stop your pendulum at this time. (Keep in mind, the clock is right, the hands are wrong)
3) Remove the hand nut in front of the minute hand by turning the nut about a 1/4 turn with a pair of needle nose pliers counterclockwise just enough to loosen, then remove by turning it by hand.
4) Remove the minute hand by pulling it straight out with no left to right movement to the hand.
5) Place the minute hand back pointing to the 12:00 hour that just struck on the chimes.
6) Re-install the nut by hand, hand tighten while holding the end of the minute hand keeping it from moving.
7) Firming hold the minute hand and tighten with pliers an additional 1/8 - 1/4 turn beyond hand tight.
8) Re-set the time and you are done

You will need to do a mechanical adjustment to the hand.
Loosen the hand nut and adjust the hand the tighten.

Manually turn the minute hand forward until the 16 westminster chimes sound and then the hour strikes. Then remove the minute hand (it will go on in four positions) and put it back on at the 12 o'clock position. The chimes should now be back into sync.

The clock is trying to sound on the hour but the mechanism is not falling into place at the correct time. Sounds like the movement needs a good cleaning and lube. How long has it been since the movement was cleaned and lubed? If more than 5 years, it needs at least a good lube job.
