St Matthew’s Willis Organ

The Willis Organ at St Matthew’s is part of an exciting project. Barritt Audio came to record each note and stop of St Matthew’s organ for the Hauptwerk programme, from which the recitals can be performed.  History of our organ is on his website: St. Matthew, Cheltenham – Barritt Audio  

St Matthew’s has had a number of re-orderings in recent years, creating a much more flexible space for holding services as well as a wide variety of church/community groups and activities.
