The world-famous choir of Merton College, Oxford, under their Organist and Director of Music Ben Nicholas, came to sing Choral Evensong at St Peter's, for the Eve of the Feast of St Michael and All Angels. The 34-strong choir sang beautiful music by Gibbons and Stanford, all unaccompanied. A congregation of over 60 people including children attended the service and were most appreciative. Merton Choir last came in 2012, and we look forward to a return visit rather sooner! It is thought that our chancel, which dates from about 1290, was built by the same mason who built the Chapel of Merton College, so we feel we have a special link.
