Vera Elward's Microlight Flight · 20 June 2015

St. Mary's Church, Bampton, the famous village featured in Downton Abbey, is raising money to restore the 1812 Gray and Davison pipe organ. £150,000 is needed to restore this beautiful musical instrument to its former glory and equip it for 21st century use.

Story

Even though I am 92 years old, I decided I needed to do something a bit daring to encourage sponsorship for the Organ Restoration Fund. My family persuaded me that my original plans to do a parachute jump or 'wing-walking ' was not such a good idea, since I have had two hip replacements and two knee replacements, not to mention Asthma and heart problems.

I was born in Bampton and have lived here all my life. I am really excited about this adventure and hope that it will help us to hit the target, which is to have the organ operational again in time for Christmas.
