Approval for plan to replace organ at St. Nicholas Collegiate Church

Approvals been given for plans to replace the organ at St. Nicholas Collegiate Church in the city.

The plan is just one part of a wider plan to redesign and rejuvenate the iconic church, which dates back to the 12th century.

The replacement of the organ will take years to complete, as there's a 4 year lead time for construction, and considerable internal works to the church are also needed.

The current organ is described as needing regular ‘band-aid’ running repairs.

St. Nicholas Church is a protected structure, which carries many considerations, but city planners have now approved the plans.
