Gorton Monastery, dubbed Manchester's Taj Mahal, has been lovingly restored after 25 years of fundraising and conservation, a feat many thought impossible. However...

There's still a missing part at its heart

And that's its original Wadsworth organ, dismantled when the church and friary were sold in 1989. Its pipes were probably sold for scrap and the organ loft has remained empty ever since.

Will you help us to fill that empty space?

Patricroft Methodist Church in Eccles, Salford has kindly offered to donate a strikingly similar Wadsworth organ, almost the same age and specs as the one that was lost.

We need to raise £100,000 to transfer and reconfigure that Wadsworth organ and its 1000+ individual, handmade pipes and return its rich, historic music to the Monastery.

Your donation will help us to achieve that, whilst also helping to preserve an important part of the musical heritage of Victorian Manchester.

Please donate to our organ appeal now.
