Nigel Church

Nigel Church was a British organ builder based in Stamfordham, Northumberland from 1971 to 1998

Career

He started building organs as Church and Company in Stamfordham in 1971 and concentrated on new build organs with mechanical action.[1]

Although some restoratons of older organs were undertaken (mostly in the area around Durham near their workshop) Church's small organ-building company gradually became best known for effective design of small organs (of one or two manuals) in the neo-baroque style then fashionable, often featuring modernist architectural design and casework - in strong contrast to the elaborate, noble and grand post-Victorian aesthetics of most of Britain's organ stock. As such, the firm's legacy constitutes a modest but important ingredient in the spread of the 20th Century European Organ reform movement into the UK.

The firm ceased trading in 2000. Many of Church's organs are still in regular use.
