Marcus Vergette MRSS (born 1961) is a sculptor based in the UK, much of whose recent work involves bells.
[4] Vergette's Time and Tide Bells project comprises bells which are hung on the UK coast and are rung by the action of the sea at high tide.
[5][6] Vergette's first bell was created as a community project in his local village of Highampton, where he has a small farm, to celebrate the ending of the Foot and Mouth Disease epidemic of 2001, and to commemorate the animals slaughtered.
[7][8] His Listening Bell (2006) is on the campus of the University of Leicester[9] and his Harmonic Cannon[8] or Canon[10](2017) stands in the courtyard of Trinity Laban in Greenwich.
In February 2025, Vergette was the subject of a BBC Radio 4 programme "Bellboy" in the series Illuminated.
