To mark the eleventh year of publication, 2016’s calendar is a bumper edition featuring some outstanding instruments both old and new. Through the good offices of Nick Plumley, we feature his own collection, the organs of Winchester College (nave and west end), a beautiful new instrument by Vincent Woodstock and Nick’s delightful case designs for the Booth/Clough organ at Lyminster. Elsewhere, Richard Bower’s stunning new creation for Soham Church and Peter Bumstead’s superb reworking of the 1846 Bishop instrument now in Haslingfield Church, Cambs. We also have a beautifully decorated little house organ built by a gifted amateur, George Buck, son of the renowned Dr Zechariah Buck of Norwich and recently restored by Edmund Holmes.
All good wishes and thank you once again for your interest and patronage.
