The Bell Tower is where the Joseph Bell was hung, and where the Matthias and Methuselah bells were later hung. Usually a young creature is given the title of Bellringer: Tim and Tess Churchmouse were the first to receive this title in regards to the twin bells. Before the Joseph Bell was brought to Redwall, Dandin beat a hollow beech log to announce meals or danger. The roof and woodwork of the tower were constructed from the dismantled ships Waveblade, Blacksail, Nightwake, and Crabclaw, the original ship Periwinkle, which Joseph the Bellmaker and Mariel Gullwhacker sailed on.
