The
Chancel Singers was formed
in 1990 by John Francis and has sung in abbeys, churches and cathedrals
throughout England including Salisbury, Winchester, Bath,
Lincoln, Gloucester, Chichester, Rochester, St Alban's, Wells and, on
several occasions, St Paul's.
The Chancel Singers have a varied repertoire which includes many of the
famous service settings and anthems by 19th and 20th century composers
but it is constantly being extended to encompass more elaborate
settings for the communion, the responses and the evening canticles by
writers such as Robert Parsons and Herbert Howells.
August 2004 marked the retirement of John Francis and the choir is now
directed by Christopher Harris MA FRCO.
The choir is fortunate to have two accompanists, local organists Paul
Jeffery and Andrew Radford.
The singers are available for Weddings, recitals and concerts and are
always looking for new members.
