Cloister Bell

From TARDIS Index File, the free Doctor Who reference.

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