The three-manual Bevington organ at All Saints - moved and upgraded in 2001 - still relies on mechanical workings, many of which are now in desperate need of replacing. Sadly, some parts are simply unplayable. Everything is ready to go for the restoration - except the funding!
To keep the music ringing out for Sunday services, Christmas and Easter celebrations (and more!), concerts and visiting organists, we need to raise £10,000 for essential repairs. Here's how you can help:- Sponsor a key for £10
- Sponsor a pedal for £15
- Speak to Ruth, our churchwarden, and give your donation in person.

The All Saints' Church organ is a three manual Bevington organ which was originally installed in 1868.
It was relocated and enhanced in 2001 with the addition of some electrical action and a small solid state memory panel. After nearly 25 years the organ needs some 'TLC'. This includes repairs to the electronic action.
For those who know about organs these are the stops on the organ.
