Welcome to the Bell Tower

The Bell Tower, a striking 30-meter-high glass and steel structure, was opened by Her Majesty the Queen and dedicated by The Rt. Revd. John Perry, The Lord Bishop of Chelmsford, on 12th March 1999. Located at the west end of St Martin's Church, it houses eight bells with remarkable histories, symbolizing centuries of tradition and faith.
