Opposed to the ringing of bells, particularly church bells, or critical of bell-ringing practices.
From anti- (against) + tintinnabularian (from Latin tintinnabulum, bell, + -arian, person concerned with). A rare historical term describing those who objected to bell-ringing, particularly during religious or secular ceremonies.
This wonderfully obscure word captures real 17th-century religious debates—Puritan groups actually opposed church bells as too ornate and Catholic, making 'antitintinnabularian' a perfect linguistic fossil of historical church conflict!
