Time and Tide Bell

Time and Tide Bell is an art project made up of bells, designed by sculptor Marcus Vergette, installed at coastal locations in the UK. The first one was placed at Appledore, Devon, in 2009 and the sixth at Morecambe, Lancashire in March 2019. As of 2019 at least three further bells are planned.[1]

Each bell rings around high tide; the bells provide a reminder that rising sea levels caused by global warming will make the pattern of their ringing change. There is every chance that some of the bells will have to be relocated in the twenty-first century.
