Castle Consort of singers perform
in aid of the organ fund at Whorlton |
Due to the generosity of local villagers
and the success of a grant application made to the Council for the Care of
Churches, the Church Council felt able to apply for permission to carry out
work on the restoration of the organ at St. Mary's Whorlton at the beginning
of 2003. Over £23,000 has been raised towards the project. Work,
carried out by Mr. John Lightbown (Organ Builder), was completed in the late
summer of 2003.
The inaugural organ recital by Mr. James Lancelot (Durham Cathedral Organist)
was performed on October 17th 2003.
