Church performer who evokes memories? (4,6)

I believe the answer is:

bell ringer

'church performer' is the definition.
(person who performs in a church)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for bell ringer that I've seen before include "Person responsible for changes" , "reminder?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
