SUMMARY:Fitzhamon Lecture 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Chief Glory of the Quire\n\n\n\n\nThe survival and the restoration of the 14th century stained glass in the presbytery at Tewkesbury Abbey. \n\n\n\n\n2025 marks the occasion of the 100th Anniversary of the Kempe and Co restoration of the stained glass windows in the presbytery\, so it is fitting that the theme for this year’s lecture will be the medieval stained glass of Tewkesbury Abbey. \n\n\n\nThe lecturer will be conservator Jim Budd ACR. Jim set up his stained glass studio in Herefordshire in 1986. He has worked on the stained glass at Hereford Cathedral since 1988 and completed several other conservation\, repair and restoration contracts for cathedrals and churches\, including work at Tewkesbury Abbey in 2013 and 2014. Jim has been an Accredited Conservator at ICON (the Institute of Conservation) since 2017 and has twice been awarded the Moat Memorial Prize by the Worshipful Company of Glaziers for reports on the 16th century stained glass at St Michael’s Church\, Munslow\, and the 1821 Joseph Backler window at St Thomas and St Luke’s Church\, Dudley.

SUMMARY:Visit to Nicholson Organ Works and Little Malvern Priory
DESCRIPTION:Nicholson & Co are one of the two largest firms of organ builders in Britain. The firm was originally established by Richard Nicholson in Rochdale in the 1820s; his son John set up business on his own in Worcester in 1841\, and quickly rose to fame through instruments such as that at Great Malvern Priory (1850). 1956 saw a move to Malvern\, where (now in newer premises) the firm continues to operate. \n\n\n\nRecent years have seen some major contracts as well as much bread-and-butter work. The Milton organ in Tewkesbury Abbey received a thorough overhaul in 2018. Current projects include major work on the organs in Leeds Town Hall and Manchester Town Hall\, and future projects include restoration work at Gloucester Cathedral. \n\n\n\n\nThe small but beautiful organ at Little Malvern Priory is by the leading Victorian builder William Hill\, and was restored by Nicholson’s in 2019. Dr James Lancelot will demonstrate the organ for the Friends. \n\n\n\n\nThe £25 cost for the trip will include travel to all locations\, the guided tour of Nicholson Organ works\, the visit to Little Malvern Priory and refreshments. \n\n\n\nTrip timings \n\n\n\n9.15am Depart by coach from The Crescent\, Tewkesbury \n\n\n\n10.00am Nicholson Organ Tour \n\n\n\n11.30am Little Malvern Priory \n\n\n\n13.30 Return to Tewkesbury \n\n\n\nTo book your place please click on the RSVP ‘Going’ button below.
