MUSIC AT ST MARY MAGDALENE'S

Music at St Mary Magdalene's

The singing at St Mary Magdalene’s is led by our robed choir which rehearses each week after the Sunday morning Eucharist.

We are actively seeking new members. If you would like to find out more, please speak to our Organist & Choirmaster, Dr Chris Maxim, after a service.

The picture probably dates from around the time of the installation of the Rushworth & Dreaper organ and the vicar the Reverend Robert Waltham Porter.
