RIDLINGTON’S HISTORIC MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS – a talk by Martin Wall on Friday 14 June at 7.30pm
Ridlington Church is very proud of its historic musical instruments, which are displayed on the church’s west wall. These instruments, a violin, a flute, three clarinets and an unusual bassoon, were in use in the church in the 19th century.
This little band, together with a group of singers, would lead the congregation’s singing from a gallery on the west wall.
Martin’s talk will explain a little of the history of these instruments and how they were used.
