CS Lang was the Director of Music at the time - was the organ builder something like Rushworth and Draper?

For my question...

I had to learn the results as a punishment (I've no idea now what I'd done wrong). It made a pleasing, rhythmical chant.

Does any one know if the results board was moved to Horsham?

Ok - I'm not sure what sort of answer the above post requires, but ......

We all know about the Dining Hall Verrio, but how many more are there in the school ? which? and where?

(She/he with the highest number of identifiable Verrios wins)

It was 1642. Why this date should stick in my mind I really don't know.

And whilst thinking of seagoing things, how wonderful to meet DBTS and to discover that he is a handsome man - I have always thought he might be a bit like his avatar... but absolutely not! :wink:

Rushworth and Dreaper have (or has) dogged my footsteps (or pedalling feet ) for my whole career. My own school (I am not an Old Blue) had a modest 3-manual R and D organ in its Memorial Hall which I payed daily once I became School Organist. On reaching Oxford - where, as an Organ Scholar, I had the smallest chapel and the the smallest organ (no comments please!) in Oxford - I practised at Queen's next door. It was a larger 3-manual R and D. On arriving on the staff of CH I was impressed and depressed to find a 5-manual Queen Mary version of R and D's output ( and a west tuba to announce arrival in port). In retirement I am faced with the (only?) R and D attempt at a baroque organ. I'm not complaining, Plum (or Josh), but I wish that at some stage I could have played a Harrison and Harrison. St Mary's Hrsham did have a Father Willis organ which almost worked. jds
