Cloister Bell

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