bells

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'chimes?' is the definition.
('bell' can be a synonym of 'chime')

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bells that I've seen before include "Ringing instruments" , "Scotch?" , "Ringing objects" , "Chimes" , "Those ringing in the New Year" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
