English term or phrase: bells and smells of Anglicanism
There was a primary school much nearer her home, but it was a Church of England institution. As staunch Methodists, Alfred and Beatrice Roberts stayed well clear of the bells and smells of Anglicanism.

Explanation:
Ja, ist mir klar, dass die Frage bereits als abgeschlossen gilt, "trotzdem", wegen des noch offenen "zu meidenden". Und doch mit Vorbehalt, da ich eher engl. als dt., Muttersprachler bin. Dennoch - "smells & bells" klingt schmunzelnd ironisch nach einer denkbaren Phobie vor dem Zeremoniell des Anglikanischen, seitens wahrscheinlich tatkräftig pragmatisch veranlagten (wohlgemerkt brit., nicht US-style) Methodisten.

agree  Armorel Young: I'm baffled as to why the accepted answer was chosen, when it completely fails to translate "bells and smells", which is the core of the question.

agree  Aniello Scognamiglio (X): @Armorel: Mein Vorschlag war nicht die endgültige Lösung, daher habe ich mich selbst gewundert.
