DREAM ORGANS
JULIAN RHODES' IMAGINARY ORGANS

Known as 'The Cathedral of the Downs', this spacious church has never contained an adequate organ. The current instrument (anon. 19th-century, rebuilt 1975) has 8 stops on 2 manuals.

Here is a very English scheme for this building. Great, Swell and Pedal would be situated at the west-end; Choir would occupy the same chancel position as the current instrument.
