Church Organ

GOOD news on the plans to restore the William Allen Chamber Organ in St Peter’s church, Pilning.

The Heritage Lottery fund has agreed to meet the cost of restoration. Other efforts at fund raising are also bearing fruit.

Composer Tim Knight has completed a suite, in four movements, for this organ. The suite, ‘Pilning Pictures’ is available from the telephone number above, or on line from Tim Knight Music.

The ‘meditation’ was performed in Pilning Church last Sunday by Sharon Edwardes, to applause from the congregation. We have been told that the music is selling well in the United States and the restoration fund gains £5 from each copy sold at £7.95.
