Members of Chew Stoke Methodist Church are proud of the fact they have
three organists, who between them have notched up 155 years of service
and wondered if this was a record. The church and its congregation of
around 28, has three organists who have been providing music at the church
for 40,50 and 65 years respectively. Together they have dedicated 155 years
to the life of the church
The Church’s main organist is Pat Gallop, who has played here and previously at
Chew Magna Chapel for a total of 65 years. Elaine Symes who previously played
at Harptree and Blagdon for a total of 40 years. Third organist is Angela Hurford
who plays for All Age Worship and at the Parish Church for a total of 40 years.
The three were presented with certificates for their long service during their
Harvest Service by the Rev Michelle Ireland.
