Lincolnshire's most significant 21st century public artwork, created by sculptor Marcus Vergette, the Time and Tide Bell stands on the beach north of Mablethorpe. It is rung by the sea at high tide, drawing attention to our relationship with the coastal environment and warning us about the climate emergency and sea level rise.

The Mablethorpe Bell
This coast is some of the fastest changing in Britain. The land behind the sea defences is close to sea level, the sea defences here will be breached in years to come. Land is gained and land is lost, this coast is the fulcrum on which the North Sea pivots into the English Channel, in continual migration, forming and reforming its shape, more like an organism than a pile of stones. The bell was installed on June 18 2019.

The bell is part of a wider community of art projects in this part of Lincolnshire organised by the Lincolnshire Time and Tide Bell Community Interest Company
