Story

Our wonderful Pipe Organ is in urgent need of repair !

We need to raise £240,000.00 to restore this wonderful instrument to its original glory.

Built in 1906 by William Hill & Son of London. It is now on the National Pipe Organ Register with a "Historic Organ Certificate awarded in 2016 - Grade II* and is considered a significant surviving example of this firm's later work.

The organ has 1092 pipes within it's original casing and you can read the full history and newspaper articles of the time on our dedicated Restoration Website - Stellamarisproject.co.uk

You can either donate what you can or "Dedicate a Pipe in memory of a loved one". We are looking for dedication amounts of £200.00 per pipe and for this you will receive a certificate of dedication and and entry into the "Pipe Organ Restoration Dedication Book".
