Saint Peter's Selsey

Diocese of Chichester

I n the 1840's Selsey Church had it's own band that consisted of a flute, a piccolo, a basoon and a serpent. In 1916 the piccolo and flute were presented to the Rector. They are now preserved in a glass case.

The organ that is in use today, was presented in 1917 by Edward Heron-Allen in memory of his father. The Church Organ It was built by J.M.Walker & Sons of London and is a two-manual tracker action instrument with nine speaking stops, four couplers, full pedal board and balanced swell.

T he Choir's main duty is to sing at the regular Church services, although they also are available to do weddings for a small charge. If you would like a particlar piece of music then please advise the Rector giving as much notice as possible. The choir has members of all ages. The junior members of the choir receive a small payment for their services. If you would like to sing with us please contact the Rector or Beryl Rodd for more details. Alternatively just come along to Choir practice, we meet at 7:30pm every Friday in the Church. We are particularly short of tenors currently, so would love to hear from you.
