I am taking the liberty of posting a revised version of this with a few 'notes in the margin', as it were, and a couple of additions. Not quite sure how to keep this up to date but very happy to try from time to time! Do contribute! I was hoping to keep this to 'well known places' but realise that that may defy definition!

Projects underway:

Norwich Cathedralwell underway by H&H 

Magdalen College, OxfordEule instrument is in advanced stage of installation - on a recent visit to Oxford, chapel entry was not possible because of organ works. Photos and specification have emerged via British Pipe Organs facebook site - but are available here.

Brasenose College, Oxford new instrument by Orgues de facto in advanced state of installation

 

Known imminent/future projects but no/sparse/basic details known:

Bristol Cathedral nothing new to report as at 25.10.22. Three manual viscount has been installed on a 'stand by' basis in case of breakdown.

Wells Cathedralnothing new to report

Winchester Cathedral - (scheme is published - rebuild etc with Vox Humana to be added)

Charterhouse School nothing new - Nicholsons have announced new organ to replace H&H using minimal pipework from this instrument, but no actual scheme announced

Gloucester Cathedral - things HAVE moved on. Organ has broken down and is out of use until Nicholsons can refurbish and renew.

 

Imminent conclusions of schemes:

Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral - H&H work ongoing

Bristol BeaconH&H work ongoing

Leeds Town HallNicholson work ongoing

Manchester Town Hallcombined project with Flentrop - ongoing

 

Projects (mostly) from original post now complete:

St Mary, Portsea - now complete (Nicholsons)

Wimborne Minster - now complete (Manders) - has anyone seen photos or comments about this? 

Shrewsbury Abbey - now complete (GO Organs)
