• Rebuilding the Organ is the last major project in the College Chapel
  The organ has had two major rebuilds in its life, in the 1920's and in the 1970's. However, by now, a total rebuild is required. The project will take two years. Some of the ranks will be totally replaced, while others will be voiced and polished, and returned to their setting on the Gallery in the Summer of 2013.
