Cloister Bell

The Cloister Bell is an alarm bell located in the Cloister Room inside the TARDIS. The Cloister Bell is to be used in the most serious and utmost emergencies. Its distinctive, sonorous ringing sounds resembles that of a large church bell. It could be answered by anyone inside the TARDIS, and the Doctor told Adric that if he needed him, Adric could sound the Cloister Bell. (DW: Logopolis)
