Reed’s School Chapel, Cobham, Surrey. Founder Andrew Reed’s desire to give both spiritual and physical food to those he sought to help emulates the compassionate ministry of Christ. The words are set within one of twelve baskets; the Feeding of the Five Thousand [Mt 14: 13- 21].

Here’s a video about Keith Watts, who has been playing the organ at Lydlinch Church, Dorset, for a remarkable 73 years. And if you’ve never heard a Dorset accent, wait until the end.
