Bell-ringers just call themselves bell-ringers. They do not like being called campanologists! There are different sorts of bell ringing - usually either tower bells or on hand bells. Tower bells are usually in churches, but there are some 'secular' towers, such as a very fine ring of twelve bells in Manchester Town Hall. Usually, ringing in towers is 'change ringing' where the bells are rung in constantly changing sequences called 'methods'. Ringing on handbells can be either changes or tunes. You can't ring tunes on tower bells because you can't easily change the speed at which the bells strike.

Campanology means the study of bells, which of course includes ringing them! It also includes casting them and tuning them. The word comes from the Latin campana, meaning Bell, and Logia meaning to study.
Tintinnalogia is the name for change ringing, where bells are rung on a mathematical premise and without hoping to produce any conventional tune.
Carillon is the opposite, ringing the bells to produce a tune.
Tintinnalogia (such a self-expressive word! Cute!) and Carillon are both types of bell-ringing.
