Re: Canon Peter Jones
I first came across Peter when he was in his teens. He lived in Lillington and was at school at Leamington College for Boys. For a time, he played the organ in my parish, Our Lady, Lillington and I have a dim memory of a gangly youth accompanying the choir every Sunday. It was not until some 20 or s...

Re: Sacred Music Conference
This was an excellent conference. Dom Henry Wansborough's keynote was terrific. The trustees should consider asking him to deliver the Crichton Lecture next year.

During the years I organised summer school, he was someone I could depend on to help with whatever was needed. Pr...
