Story
We were gifted a stunning concert grand piano in 2009 by Mrs Wight Henderson. Since then, it has been played by some of the finest pianists in the UK. We have cared for it well, but now in its 80s, it requires work. We would never be able to afford a new piano but we would rather preserve this particular one because of its fascinating past, and the role it has played in our cultural heritage. It is now at the heart of music at The Cathedral and we would like it to remain so.
