Tullaghmeelan -

We wish Sybil Burgess well as she takes up residence in Acorn Lodge.

The Rector & Dr Butler joined a young man with a wonderful knowledge of and talent in repairing organs in Tullaghmeelan. We helped him remove some of the frame and, found parts essential to the health of the organ stored inside, viewed mouse damage and learned so much about the instrument.

This “simple” instrument is not what it seems! Hidden inside were the two “pedals” - one that controls the swell box and is essential to the wellbeing of that part of the organ and the other makes a selection of stops work at a push. Patrick restored them to their rightful place. He did some adjustments and when he returns during the next few weeks, we will truly have a very good instrument.

Thank-you to our benefactor whose generosity means all of this work will not cost us.
