Organ Recitals:
An exciting set of Organ Recitals on the recently refurbished church organ take place on Wednesdays in June (and one in July).
The organ was originally built in 1883 for Sion Baptist Chapel in Bradford but was moved to All Saints Church in the early 1960s when new a some additional stops were added including a ‘zimbalstern’! The organ is large and rather powerful especially for a ‘parish church’ and so is rather desirable to play.
