The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption and St Gregory on Warwick Street in the heart of London is in the midst of a difficult fundraising campaign for the restoration of its esteemed pipe organ.
The situation is “challenging”, according to those at the church, which currently is commemorating its 300th anniversary.
Originally installed in 1790 by G.P. England, the organ last underwent a significant reconstruction by Mander & Co in 1960. The problem today, notes those behind the organ restoration project, is that the current fundraising landscape presents challenges for Catholic churches.
