More deeply, everything here is for the healing of our Society in very troubled and difficult times. Beautiful music offered by the Choir, on the organ, or instrumentally; well attended, well ordered Services; the beauty of the sublime architecture; and there are candles to light, stillness to explore, and a sense of comfort to absorb.
Everything here is for the healing and mending of hurting Souls. You will be very, very welcome.
John Davies
Dean of Wells

Very interesting. The pipe organ is supposed to be a 1910 Harrison & Harrison, expanded from a Henry Willis instrument, as Zephyrinus knows well, two of the great English pipe organ builders. 67 stops and 4 manuals. It must be absolutely magnificent to hear those English diapasons and tubas 😊
ReplyDeleteDear Dante Peregrinus. Thank you for your most interesting Comment and contribution. You have now increased my knowledge of English pipe organ builders.
DeleteI am most grateful.
