Cadogan Hall

[parsfan]

I was a reading a history of this Chelsea concert hall which used to be Christian Scientist Church. On conversion to a concert hall the organ was removed for installation in a church in the Midlands.

 

Anyone know anything about this? Spec?

Hi

 

Could you be confusing this with the organ from the 7th Church of Christ Scientist? This went to Emmanuel, Wylde Green - see http://npor.emma.cam.ac.uk/cgi-bin/Rsearch...ec_index=E00600

 

Every Blessing

Tony is correct - the 1932 Willis from 7th Church of Christ, Scientist at Wright's Lane, Kensington, we rescued and rebuilt in the church of Emmanuel, Wylde Green, Sutton Coldfield, together with an entirely new 2-man Apse Organ, playable from the same console.

 

The 3-man Walker from the former 1st Church of Ch. Sc, in Sloane Terrace, now re-named the Cadogan Hall, we removed some years ago and have relocated to the Catholic Church in Gotherburg - it is to be restored by Tostared and due to be completed in 2008/9 I understand. I'll supply further information when we receive it.

Hi

 

Glad that I got it right! (I dealt with the NPOR updates and new surveys for Wylde Green). Thanks to for the info re. the fate of the Wlker - I'll put that into my "pending" pile for NPOR and add the info in due course.

 

Every Blessing
