Pipe Sponsorship

There are 1,731 pipes in the organ ranging in size from 2 feet to 16 feet long. The restoration will cost an average of £71 per pipe (and its associated controls) to complete. We have a scheme for pipe sponsorship which would help considerably towards covering the cost of the work and would be so grateful for your support.

• The sponsorship is a one off donation, not an annual payment.
• You may choose to donate individually, as a group, a business or a school.
• Save all your loose change until you have enough to sponsor a pipe.
• You can choose to sponsor a pipe (or half a pipe) in thanksgiving for a special event, in memory of someone, or as an unusual gift to someone or yourself.

We have suggested donations according to the size of the pipe sponsored:

A record of pipe sponsor’s names will be kept in a book on permanent display near the organ. The names of donors of £5,000 or more will be engraved on a plaque sited next to the organ. There will even be opportunities for sponsors to hear, play and possibly even see the pipe(s) they have sponsored when the work is completed. All sponsors will receive a certificate indicating which pipe(s) they have sponsored.
