Holy Trinty Church Lenton Nottingham England
I decided to do another ghost hunt at the above church.
Unfortunately, I was warned not to by some unforseen forces at this church.
So I went to St. Lukes Sunken Church in Bramcote Notts and did not have any EVPS.
Two days later, I decided to come back to this church, and this very angry voice, appears to be saying:-
YOU COME!

Lead, kindly light - Holy Trinity Church, Hull (Compton organ)
Another of me playing the magnificent 4 manual Compton organ at Holy Trinity Church in Hull - said to be the biggest organ to be found in a parish church in the United Kingdom!
I am playing the hymn 'Lead, kindly light' to the tune 'Sandon' which is an ideal hymn for demonstrating the softer sounds on the organ such as the lovely Orchestral Oboe in the first verse.
Many thanks to the church officials for allowing me access to this magnificent Compton organ.

Praise Him, Praise Him! - Holy Trinity Church, Hull (Compton organ)
Me playing the organ at Holy Trinity Church in Hull - said to be the largest organ to be found in a parish church in the United Kingdom!
Some pipework in the organ dates back to the mid 18th century when a 2 manual instrument was first installed. In 1845 the organ was rebuilt and enlarged by Forster and Andrews who also rebuilt the organ in 1855, 1876, 1900 and 1908. The organist Norman Strafford always felt that the organ was now powerful enough for the huge church so in 1938 the organ was totally rebuilt by the John Compton Organ Company Ltd. Electric action and detached console featuring the Compton patent luminous stop control were added along with much new pipework including a very powerful Tuba stop and the Compton patent 32ft polyphonic bass.

For this first video I am playing the hymn 'Praise Him, Praise Him!' which shows off the power of this organ. The powerful Tuba stop on the bombarde division (added by Compton in 1938) can be heard at the beginning and at various points in this hymn.
Many thanks to the church officials for allowing me access to this wonderful Compton organ.
