A meeting was held at the Vicarage, Badsey, on Tuesday evening to consider the question of raising funds for a new organ for the parish church.  The vicar, who presided, said that the existing organ had done duty for many years but that many felt the time had now come when an effort should be made to provide an instrument more worthy of their beautiful church and the worship of Almighty God.  The suggested new organ would be a two-manual one, with tracker action for the manuals and tubular-pneumatic for the pedals.  There would be four stops on the great organ, four on the swell and one on the pedal organ, together with four couplers and four composition pedals.  The total cost of the instrument would be £200 or, if old pipes were used in its construction, £170.
