I read the other day that some of these bell pushes have a simple release
for the battery, a pp3 in the case of the one I was reading about, and some
people are actually sneaking in and taking them out. Times must be tough if
folk neeed to nick batteries of unknown vintage from bell pushes is all I
can say

I presume that the chiming part has to be affixed to the wall

Nope! Either freestanding with batteries or plugged into socket.


and if you
don't have a drill and masonry bit what do you do with it? (I'm guessing
that sticking on with double sided tape or blutack isn't durable enough)

Bell push is supplied with D/S tape, but I do things properly & use screws
:-)
