The
Organ by Charles Martin of Oxford |
||||||
| The organ was built in 1897 to be in
place for the consecration of St. Theodore's Church on 5th August
1897 at a cost of £795 plus £20 for a temporary case for
the front pipes - which is still in position today. It is reputed
to be Martin's largest opus and indeed his last as he died in 1898. Repairs to the organ were undertaken by the builder's great great grandson John Clark, in 1969. Further repairs were commissioned in 1973 and 1986. |
 |

 |
||||||
| Nevertheless the organ
was literally wearing out and by 2000 provided a challenge to the
organists who could not be certain from one hymn verse to the next
what stops would work. As part of the Restoration of St. Theodore's Church it was decided to completely dismantle, clean, repair and reconstruct the organ. This work was undertaken by Nicholson's of Worcester from January to May 2001 at a total cost of over £100,000.00. |
