In 1889 the North Middlesex Association of Change Ringers put forward a case to Revd D W Barrett to establish the Association on a wider basis in order to promote the cause of change ringing in North Middlesex and South Hertfordshire. As a result, on 17 August 1889, the North Middlesex Association of Change Ringers became the Middlesex Association of Change Ringers.

The South and West Middlesex Guild was established on 4 February 1894 when ringers from Ealing and Isleworth proposed forming an association of bellringers for this district.

During 1896 and 1897 negotiations took place for the amalgamation of the South and West Middlesex Guild and the Middlesex Association of Change Ringers. On 7 June 1897 the Middlesex County Association of Change Ringers was formed "to bring about closer intimacy and a better understanding between the 2 Associations... [for] the advancement of both". The Association comprised 2 districts: the Middlesex Association became known as the North and East District, and the South and West Middlesex became know as the South and West District. The South and West District district was broadly based on the parliamentary divisions of Uxbridge, Brenford, Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, and the North and East District on the parliamentary divisions of Harrow, Enfield, Hornsey, Tottenham and Hampstead. For lists of towers in each district see pp 7, 8 and 9 of ACC/2428/9/1. Each district retained its own management and officers, and the affairs of the new County Association were managed by a central committee.

On 10 October 1903, it was decided that the bellringers ought to regard themselves as churchworkers of the diocese and thus ought to have a diocesan name. The title of the Association was therefore amended to Middlesex County Association and London Diocesan Guild of Change Ringers. The name is now Middlesex County Association and London Diocesan Guild of Church Bell Ringers. In February 1984 the South and West District was divided into 2 separate districts: Southern and Western.
