Did my usual weekly couple of hours manning the Church office this morning, and as things were fairly quiet took a few pictures of the church interior. The above photo shows our 'Father William' organ, which was built for a large private house in Colchester in 1687, and purchased for our church in 1738, and has been there ever since. It's been repaired and restored a good many times, and I would think that only the case and larger pipes are now probably all that's left of the original organ. It can still let rip, though. Goodnight all.
Now that is an organ!!...;-)
