I just hope someone buys it before it does get trashed. Beautiful building.
Love the look of this, your pics really do it justice.

"Great out of use" says the legend. So this organ was already in poor repair before it suffered the attention of the metal thieves. One wonders how the meeting of the parish finance committee went when the poor long suffering organist told them that the instrument was becoming unplayable.
No doubt, the parish worthies (non-musicians, obviously) thought that "two keyboards were enough". I can only imagine the sadness with which the organist wrote that notice and placed it over the stops. No doubt, the parish worthies felt very self-satisfied as they "saved the money". I can imagine the organist, sitting there Sunday after Sunday, automatically reaching for the great open diapason before remembering that the most powerful section of the instrument was now silent.
Now, the whole instrument is silent - and permanently so. Mice now scurry through the wind chests and the soundboards will be warped beyond repair. Many of the pipes are missing, and it would be far too costly even to remove it and install it eleewhere.
It will end its days, like so many of its counterparts as lengths of twisted metal in a skip.
A sad end.
