Poole, in Coventry, It's history and antiquities says the pulpit was removed from the pillar in the north to one on the south. At the same time the organ and the seats for the choir were placed on a slight elevation from the floor at the extremity of the west end of the church, between the tower and the closed western porch. Helen, you know the location of the church better than me and I don't know if this makes sense and fits in with your knowledge of the layout !

It does, thanks Anne. We think of the old buildings as fixed but they were often moved around internally. The windows changed. The floor too. I've only just started looking at interiors.

I'm not sure if this view of the Sanctuary has been on HCF before but to me it has the most detail, and how I wish I had seen it as shown!

Help please, I'm struggling to get my head around that photo. Unless it's much earlier than this century. The organ is missing?

Thank you Helen, Where are the pipes? Answered my own question. That's the Willis Organ dating from 1887. It was so small. Our chapel read organ had bigger pipes. What a pip!

What a well put-together video - a lot of work must have gone into that. The maker even made use of my hand-drawn city wall plans at the 2 minutes 49 seconds mark.... but I won't complain that there's no acknowledgement! Wink Lol

Was there a third organ? Or was there a little one for weekdays?

Nice one Prof. Thumbs up It shows three different windows but none of them were the original design, not even the tracery (stonework).
