At the heart of St Martin's Square in Basildon is the world's
first bell tower constructed of glass and steel. The frameless
glass walls of this octagonal tower give unobstructed views to the
interior, displaying a ring of six medieval and two newly
commissioned bells. The last time that the medieval bells were
heard was around 150 years ago and now bell ringers, as well as the
mechanics of the bells, can be seen in action at the same time. The
free-standing tower is adjacent to the west window of St Martin's
Parish Church.
