MORE EMINENT INSTALLATIONS

St Anne's Church, Chingford, Essex

September 2000 saw the installation of a new 2 manual custom-built organ for St Anne's Church Chingford. This instrument replaced a failing pipe organ; the speaker system and amplifiers are behind the remaining pipework on the West gallery and the special panelled light oak console is on the South side of the church.
The church itself is an interesing and very attractive building erected in the 1950's - brick built with an impressive Western tower and extensive halls.

Haywards Heath United Reformed Church

In February 2000, Haywards Heath United Reformed Church underwent a major scheme of redevelopment including the replacement of an aging Morgan & Smith pipe organ with a new custom-built Eminent organ. The organ was delivered and voiced and in action by May 2000. The light oak console is on the south side of the church and the 5-channel speaker system is situated on the gallery at the West end of the church. After we installed the organ, Mr Rob Drake, the church treasurer wrote saying "The organ has been praised by all who have listened to it, most cannot believe that it is other than a traditional pipe organ."

The New Beacon School, Sevenoaks, Kent

May 2000 saw the installation of a 2 manual custom built Eminent organ for the chapel of The New Beacon School in Sevenoaks. This organ features motorised tab stops, general and divisional pistons and a full range of toe pistons.

The Falkland Islands Memorial Chapel, Pangbourne College, Reading

In November 1999, ready for the Remembrance Day Service our custom-built 3-manual 52 speaking stop organ was installed in the new chapel in Pangbourne College. The building was offically opened by HM The Queen in March 2000 and is dedicated to the memory of those who died in the Falklands war in 1982. The College regularly uses it for services and its award-winning design makes it a popular concert venue. As well as the state-of-the-art Eminent organ, the chapel also houses a Steinway concert grand piano.

St Luke's United Church, Bedford

January 1999 saw the installation of the new Eminent organ in St Luke's United Church in Bedford. The church contains a splendid Brindley and Forster organ of 3 manuals and 51 stops in an equally splendid case. Sadly this organ is unplayable and the church decided to invest in an Eminent. The console is on the left-hand side of the church facing the front and the speakers and amplifers are housed in the pipe organ case

The Cathedral Church of St Mary & St Boniface, Plymouth

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of installation in 2007, the 3 manual Emenent in Plymouth Cathedral was commissioned back in 1997 to replace the ailing Hele organ. The 18 channels of amplification and speaker systems are all housed within the casework of the old pipe organ on a purpose-built bridge which spans the Great organ chest and swell box. The Great, Swell and Pedal speakers face West and the Choir speakers face into the chancel of this huge church.

St Mary's Priory Church, Brownedge, Bamber Bridge, Preston, Lancashire

In 1953 an organ from a Preston Congregational Church was purchased to replace the old pipe organ, which was believed to date, in part, from 1688, but by 1996 it was all but unplayable, so St Mary's now have a 3-manual custom-built Eminent organ, which was installed in November 1996.
The Benedictines from Ampleforth established themselves in Bamber Bridge in 1780, and still serve here today. St Mary's is a grand and beautiful church with a 120ft high spire which pre-dates the present church by some 40 years.

Holy Trinity with St Laurence Church, Morecambe, Lancashire

In June 1996 we installed a new 37 speaking stop 2 manual custom built organ. The console is in the North Choir Aisle of this spacious church and the main speaker system and 10 channel amplification units are at the West End of the Church on the gallery within the old pipe organ case. A further speaker system with 5 channels of amplification is situated behind the high altar.

Highbury Congregational Church, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

In February 1996 we installed a new custom built organ in Highbury Church. The console was originally in the South Transept, but has since been moved to the opposite transept of this spacious church and the main speaker system and 10 channel amplification units are at the East End of the Church within the old pipe organ case.

St Margaret's Church, Leicester

By the mid 1990's the four-manual Nicholson pipe organ in St Margaret's Church had become almost unplayable. It was decided, very sensibly, to mothball the organ (which also includes some 10 ranks of Father Smith pipework from the 17th Century) and use a digital organ. Eminent were chosen and in May 1995 we built and installed a two manual custom built organ which still serves this major town centre church today.

St Joseph's Roman Catholic Church, Scarborough, Yorkshire

Built and installed in October 1994 to replace a pipe organ on the West end gallery which was beyond repair. The console is built into the space left by the removal of the pipe organ console, and the 10 channel amplification systems and speaker housings are within the organ case.
