A very strange day. The pipe organ at St Saviour’s is being removed today. Notwithstanding all the good reasons for taking it away, it is still a rather melancholy feeling seeing it actually being removed. Changing the organ is our big project for our 150th celebration year. A new digital pipe organ has been ordered…
