All people that on earth do dwell - St Nicholas Minster, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk (Compton organ)
#comptonorgan #pipeorgan
Me playing the organ at the Minster Church of St Nicholas in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.
The organ was originally built in 1882 by William Hill for St Mary Boltons Church in Brompton, London. Hill then rebuilt the organ in 1908. In 1960 the John Compton Organ Company Ltd moved the organ here to Great Yarmouth and added a few stops to it including the patent 32ft polyphonic bass. The case concealing the organ was donated by the Freemasons of the town and was designed by Dykes-Bower. The organ uses 2 consoles. The main 3 manual drawstop in the nave and a 2 manual stopkey in the chancel. The specification reads:

I am playing the hymn 'All people that on earth do dwell' to the tune 'Old 100th' which shows off main tonal colours on the organ used for accompanying congregational hymn singing.
Many thanks to the Minster Staff for allowing me access to this fine Compton organ and for such a friendly welcome.
The minster is in the process of raising funds for a full restoration and overhaul of the organ. Please click on the Minster webpage for more details:
For more information on the John Compton Organ Company Ltd and to see me play other Compton organs, please click on the following link for my site dedicated to the John Compton Organ Company Ltd:
REQUEST: I am always on the lookout for Compton organs to play - particularly electrones - so if you know of any churches which still have these then please do let me know. I will happily give a donation or pay any applicable room hire charge.

Heritage - discover unexpected history and heritage in Great Yarmouth
With fascinating ruins and beautiful architecture from almost every era dating back from the Roman times, Great Yarmouth is a surprising heritage explorers’ treasure trove. Find out more at
Gateway to the historic Broads and home to England’s second most complete medieval town wall as well as the best preserved Roman ruins in East Anglia, Great Yarmouth has a proud maritime heritage, beautifully brought to life aboard the Lydia Eva, a restored steam drifter moored on South Quay and annually at the Maritime Festival. Traditional Great Yarmouth Row houses, the oldest gaol in the country, former smoke houses and the remains of 13th century Franciscan cloisters all have a story to tell.
Greater Yarmouth likes to tell it’s heritage story differently than most, and considering it’s long tradition as a seaside resort, the Joyland snails, the Old Penny Museum and the Scenic Railway wooden rollercoaster ridden every time by a brake man give a retro seaside heritage edge to Great Yarmouth’s popular seafront.
Discover the unexpected in Greater Yarmouth, it's far more than just a seaside resort, with a fascinating multi-faceted history to relate to visitors who take the time to delve a little deeper.

Great Yarmouth, often known to locals as Yarmouth, is a coastal town in Norfolk, England. Great Yarmouth is located at the mouth of the River Yare, 20 miles east of Norwich. Great Yarmouth has been a seaside resort since 1760, and is the gateway from the Norfolk Broads to the North Sea. For hundreds of years Great Yarmouth was a major fishing port, depending mainly on the herring fishery, but Great Yarmouth fishing industry suffered a steep decline in the second half of the 20th century, and has now all but disappeared.
The discovery of oil in the North Sea in the 1960s led to a flourishing oil rig supply industry, and today Great Yarmouth services offshore natural gas rigs. More recently, the development of renewable energy sources, especially offshore wind power, has created further opportunities for support services. A wind farm of 30 generators is within sight of the town on the Scroby Sands. Great Yarmouth has a beach and two piers.
Great Yarmouth is on a 3.1-mile (5.0 km) spit sandwiched between the North Sea and River Yare. Great Yarmouth well-known features include the historic rows (narrow streets) and the main tourist sector on the seafront. The area is linked to Gorleston, Cobholm and Southtown by Haven Bridge and to the A47 and A149 by the Breydon Bridge.
Great Yarmouth is connected to Norwich by the Wherry Lines from Great Yarmouth railway station, it is served by an hourly service provided by Abellio Greater Anglia via Acle or, less frequently, via Reedham. The bus station in Great Yarmouth is the major hub for local routes and is located under Market Gates Shopping Centre. The River Yare cuts off Great Yarmouth from other areas of the borough such as Gorleston and Southtown and so the town's two bridges have become major transport links.
