Attend an Organ Recital at St Lawrence

St Lawrence’s Church is holding their Trinity Festival from Saturday 29 May to Saturday 5 June to celebrate the completion of the organ restoration project with a series of organ recitals and special services taking place during the week.

The Denman organ, originally built in 1884, has been carefully restored by Nicholson and Co organ builders. It looks beautiful and sounds exquisite.

The organ restoration has been a collaboration between St Michael le Belfrey where the organ originally resided and St Lawrence where the organ founds its new home. It fits well with St Lawrence’s style of worship, there is the space to accommodate what is thought to be the largest organ that William Denman built in his career and, as a piece of Victorian workmanship, the organ fits particularly well with the Victorian church building.

Relocating the organ has played an important role in then helping The Belfrey progress its own plans to repair and reorder its Grade 1 listed building to support its mission to serve God’s transformation of the North.

We are delighted that St Lawrence can celebrate through this Festival of Music and we will continue to pray for the St Lawrence's community in its ongoing mission and ministry in the coming years.
