What a great way to spend a very cold and snowy Sunday afternoon, 1 degree F, -17 degree C! Your introduction with the story of your brother is priceless! When you said, "Stupid fool" I laughed out loud. What a great deal of work, walking through the water and the field to bring us this great music. I've watched every episode, most several times and what's so special about your KZitem channel is that you make the video about the church, its setting and the organ . My dream would be to cross the Big Pond someday and hear you in person. Thanks Ben!

I think of the hopes, fears, great joys and outrageous pain and sorrows that congregations have brought into these buildings. Your choice of music and playing enables it to be tolerable.

Here's a bit of extra information about Britford and the Church. Just along the river is Longford Castle, so private and out of view that even some people round here don't know about it. Still in the ownership of the Earl of Radnor, there are quite a few tombs of the family in the Churchyard. And of course with such patrons, the church is well looked after. Just thought I'd point out, especially to US viewers, that many of the Churches Ben is visiting have or did have, large wealthy estates nearby. Hence the quality of the buildings and their size and decoration. Bit of trivia for you. You can catch a glimpse of the roofs and towers of Radnor Castle from nearby hills, and only in winter when the trees are bare. However the best view of this unusual hexagonal castle is at the end of the film "The Princess Diaries" (Anne Hathaway film). It's the one shown in the ariel shot at the end of the film.

As usual, a fascinating tour of church, yard, and organ. As others have commented, it is great to be able to have these virtual journeys with you through the British landscape. It has been fifty years since I last wandered the Wiltshire and Somerset countryside as you do. Back then it was kind of a genealogical tour- in the 17th century my family came to America from the area around Frome- but we know not our immigrant ancestor. I visited the church of St. George at Whatley, but it was locked up tight and we could only walk the churchyard. I understand it has a very old historic organ... maybe you can visit that some day!

Sorry not to see the Gorilla cart with you! Here in Northamptonshire the lanes to several village churches in the Nene valley are underwater. The royal church of Fotheringhay also has an organ by Vincent Woodstock which is used by the summer school for young organists. The low sun and crisp air in January has many compensations, clear blue skies, a golden light before sunset to illuminated the ancient yew trees which mark out God’s Acre and the subtle tones of the lichens on the ancient gravestones. The narrow and lofty nave is a sure sign of a Saxon building underneath medieval dress and Victorian restoration! This morning I took a communion service at Stilton, where the famous chess was sold but not made! In the same group is Elton, where an 18/19th century Rector was the father of John Fisher, Archdeacon of Berkshire and brother of John Fisher, Bishop of Salisbury. Without these two Johns, Constable’s world famous paintings of Salisbury cathedral would never have been painted. I suspect they might have been as holy as the founder of your school, but the younger John was a great comfort to the artist when his beloved wife died. Elton with its water meadows and mills, stone cottages and Hall has a church your would enjoy, William Morris glass, a T C Lewis organ and where Fr Faber was rector before he ‘poped’ in 1845. Among other hymns he wrote, There is a wideness in God’s mercy. As always a beautiful and sensitive post. I have sent the link to local village clergy and the Archdemon, and reported the growth of your worldwide following! Carry on the good work!

I didn’t even know I liked it until I watched him. I just love the way he explains all about the church and all the details of the organ that he is going to play. For me, it makes it so fascinating.

Your videos re-awaken childhood memories of when, as a small child, I would sit next to my highly musical, but hugely modest grandfather (a DMus and FRCO) while he practised the organ at the church where he was organist for over 30 years, St Michael and All Angels, Tettenhall, Staffordshire. I remember it was an instrument with about a half-second delay because the console was on the opposite side of the church to the pipes - which made playing it during church services rather interesting! But what a joy it was to watch him playing, and what a joy it is to see and hear the beautiful music you too produce as another brilliant organist. Thank you!

Ben, You've just taught me that there has been more than one Bishop Wordsworth. From various hymnals I knew that Bishop Christopher Wordsworth was a hymn-writer (nephew of William Wordsworth the Romantic poet). I see that John was Christopher's son.
