Saint-James Normandy

[Choir Man]

The church of St Jacques in the town of Saint-James in normandy suffered a catastrophic ceiling vault collapse last week directly onto their recently restored Merklin organ.

Fortunately the collapse happened overnight while the church was unoccupied and nobody was hurt.

ps Does anyone know what if any progress there has been at Soissons cathedral since their rose window got blown out taking part of the organ with it?

A great shame. to loose something as nice as that. Looks a write off sadly.
