 The Avery Organ
The London organ builder John Avery (1755-1808) was
a highly colourful character, falling foul of the law on
occasion, and having a reputation as a ‘shocking drunken
character’. Despite this he was a signifi cant organ builder,
responsible for some important organs, including those
in King’s College Cambridge and Winchester Cathedral.
Detailed information on the organ, including
documentation on its restoration, registrations of the
works on the CD and aspects of performance practice, is
available on the Age of Discovery website
