At All Saints Church, Lydiard Millicent, Swindon SN5 3LS
Sat 28 March 2026 at 3.30 pm
All Saints is thrilled to welcome Paul Hale, Cathedral Organist and Rector Chori Emeritus at Southwell Minster, Nottinghamshire. In this afternoon recital Paul will demonstrate the full capability of our very fine Nicholson church organ and we are expecting to be dazzled!
In the summer of 2024 Paul helped All Saints identify the needed repairs and restoration of the organ that was completed a year ago. He described the instrument as “a real gem… historically and musically important” and said, “The church is really fortunate to have this early work of an important organ craftsman … with an international reputation.”
