Handel and the organ of Belchamp Walter Hall

At Belchamp Walter Hall in Suffolk is a very late and rather unusual consort organ, probably dating from around 1700. Legend has it that it was a gift from Handel to his pupil Isabella Raymond. Unfortunately, not so – but my research has revealed a no less interesting story. You can read all about it in the next BIOS Reporter (45:4) due in November 2023.
