Great Stave has been advising on the installation of a Hauptwerk organ at All Saints Church, Awbridge, Hampshire. A pipe organ was removed several years ago to make way for kitchen facilities. The new three-manual digital organ will take full advantage of the splendid natural acoustic. It will be based on a sample of the Walker organ at Bromley Parish Church.
