Cloister Bell is a gen Doctor Who anthology of fiction, reviews, letters, photographs, and articles. One issue contains an interview that was reprinted in The South Croydon LIStener #20 and #21.

One fan remembers: "I loved Cloister Bell. It was a thick, densly packed fanzine with up to 90 pages in an issue. Great fan fic, exclusive interviews (Elisabeth Sladen, Fiona Cummings), comic strips, fanfic, genuinely well-research articles and more. The Associate Editor and contributor was Robert Shearman, who of course went on to write for the revived series."
