1875 Henry Williams orgel for sale
Henry Williams was born in 1805. He worked 20 years for the company of John Gray (later Gray & Davison). Around 1853 Williams established himself as an independent organ builder in Cheltenham. He builded at least 15 new organs for churches in a conservative style. Henry died in 1874 and was succeeded by his son Williams H. Williams who, besides a few new organs, mainly carried out maintenance jobs till around 1902.
The church organ for sale was build for the Ryecroft Methodist church in Gloucester. In 1898 it was sold to the Eastinton Methodist church and in the seventies it was relocated to the St. Barnabaschurch in Glochester. In 1999 this church was closed and the organ disassembled. In 2004 the organ was completely restored.
