St Werburgh's Catholic Parish, Chester

St Werburgh's 1914 Organ Refurbishment and rebuilding in the 1875 Confessionals

Documents delineating the restoration of the First Organ in St Werburgh’s Church. Following the Church extension 1912-1914 , the organ was removed from the gallery , and refurbished before being reinstalled in the original Church confessional, later re-used as St Werburgh’s Shrine. The information came from the Liverpool Central Reference Library, Kirby Archives – details on St Werburgh’s Chester.

This information won’t be of general interest to the parish but I believe should be retained as part of the Church History.
