chimer
Hourly bell sounder
A chimer is one who chimes—someone who rings bells or plays chimes.
The word appears most often in contexts of church bell-ringing or musical performance: The chimers gathered in the bell tower for practice.
Less commonly, chimer describes someone who chimes in during conversation, joining uninvited.
