St Peters Church Organ

Over the years, we have been aware that the church organ needed major repairs. It is a James Walker instrument and some say the best organ in the valley.

With many thanks to Chris Sitwell, who accessed a grant, generous donations and fund raising, we have recently had it restored by Mr Edward Dove. He found that the organ had shutters on it to reduce the volume of sound. This is common practice when an organ is in a small room – we believe the organ was once in the School House. The shutters have been removed and all is working as it should.
