Denman organ is being played again at St Lawrence

The Denman organ has now been fully restored and is playing beautifully at St Lawrence’s Church, York and in time for the church to celebrate the licensing of their new Minister Father Adam Romanis.

The organ was taken down and moved from the Belfrey in August 2019 to Nicholson & Co’s workshop in Malvern where it was painstakingly and lovingly restored to its original state from 1885.

Members of the Belfrey and St Lawrence PCCs took part in a talk and tour by Nicholson in November and were the first to hear it played in its new home which was an honour.

St Michael le Belfrey looks forward to joining with St Lawrence, when restrictions become easier and more people can gather again, in a celebration of music and worship.

St Lawrence’s Church has also made a recording of their Advent service with readings and carols which you can view. For more information on the Organ, St Lawrence and their services, visit https://www.stlawrenceparishchurch.org.uk/music/the-organ/
