Choral music enriching religious ceremonies

The rich history of church music dates back centuries, with various forms like Gregorian chants, classical compositions, and contemporary Christian songs adding depth and beauty to religious services worldwide.

At Saint Marys the music tradition continues. In the 15th century, a tower was added to the church complete with a minstrel's gallery; music for the services would have been provided by a village orchestra, comprising flute, fife, bassoon and fiddle. In 1850, a harmonium replaced the orchestra to provide music in the church. The harmonium was replaced by a church organ. The current organ came from the Chapel of St Luke in the Radcliffe Infirmary. We also have a baby grand Broadwood piano, that was made in the early 20th century
