Constructed during the time of Abbot Saxtus, The Bell Tower is the part of Redwall Abbey where the Joseph Bell was originally hung, and where the Matthias and Methuselah bells were later hung. Usually, a young Abbey resident is given the position of Bellringer; Tim and Tess Churchmouse were the first Redwallers to receive this job in regards to the twin bells.
Before the Joseph Bell arrived at Redwall, Dandin beat a hollow beech log to announce meals or danger.
The roof and woodwork of the tower were constructed from the dismantled vermin ships Waveblade, Blacksail, Nightwake, and Crabclaw, the renamed original ship Periwinkle, on which Joseph the Bellmaker and Mariel Gullwhacker sailed.
