The new organ will be a church asset


QLITHEROE Parish Church organ, rebuilt from an instrument installed in 1931, was dedicated at a service on


Sunday. The following short history of the organ and description of the new organ has been contributed by the Parish Church organist, Mr. Charles Myers. The earliest record of an organ in the Parish Church is an


ink sketch of the instrument that stood in the gallery at the west end of the church. There are no details ot this instrument available apart from the fact that it was enlarged in 1872, having been originally built about 1837 according to the author of “ Clitheroe in its Coaching Days. ’
