The instrument now installed in St Mary's
Church in Marshchapel is a fine example of the work of the Hull organ
builders Forster and Andrews. Built in 1890, and first installed in
Richmond Congregational Church, it has been in regular use for the last 50
years at Grove Hill Methodist Church in Middlesbrough.
In addition to promising a huge improvement of sound
quality and variety for all services, this new organ will offer far
greater facility for, amongst other things, recitals, use in concerts, and
opportunities for anyone wishing to learn the instrument. Further, it will
contribute much to the appearance of St Mary's with a brighter and cleaner
facade into the chancel and a hugely enhanced prospect of the organ
chamber arch at the head of the north aisle.
The work
of installation was carried out by Henry Groves & Son Ltd. Organ Builders
of Nottingham.
The Inaugural Recital will
be given by
COLIN WALSH
on Thursday 9th October at
7pm (£3 programme on door)
