Huge thanks to everyone who came along on June 20 2021 to the first of our summer recitals. Organist Jeffrey Williams packed the church to its COVID-capacity guidelines with a brilliant concert including music played on the very day the organ was inaugurated in 1891. THANK YOU, Jeffrey! How wonderful it was to see our beautiful church filled with music and people. We raised more than £600 towards our stained glass window restoration fun.Click here to hear an introduction to the concert and the gift of the organ by Caroline Molesworth St Aubyn, nee Wheler.Click here to see Jeffrey speaking and playing.
