The Organ at Morrington Manor
he organ at Morrington Manor has been specially comissioned from N.P Mander Ltd., London. It will be installed in a specially constructed room sometime in late 1998. The instrument has been designed with a view to preserving the character of English organ music, the unique tone of our organs will be its model.
The organ is to cost a total of £170,000, however, we have already received an anonymous donation for £100,000. We extend our deepest gratitude to this person.
