I suppose one could make the connections into a feature, like some kind of
metal decorative rail with another wire inside it.

However, I'd imagine with a bit of ingenuity, and some knowledge one might
be able to operate a relay instead of the electronic ding inside a bought
radio doorbell. Many of these seem to be designed with portable in mind, ie,
the dinger is worn for the hard of hearing.
I understand there are devices which control vibrators as in mobile phones
or lighte for the Deaf, so a look into this kind of product might be a rich
vein, but they won't be cheap.

I'm trying to remove surface mounted wires in the hall (1905 single

However, SWMBO likes the very loud traditional ringer that the
existing one has. It is powered from a transformer which outputs 8V /
1A. Is there likely to be any product which would allow me to convert
the existing bell into a wireless doorbell system?

not afaik

Presumably a bog
standard 9V battery would ring the bell sufficiently?

yes, if its not an ac only bell.

Cheers!

Enamelled copper wire will work in 1mm of plaster channel depth.
