188 years of keeping tune

Earlier this year we ran a piece about organist Brian Tidy who had played in his church for 50 years; this month we feature 3 choristers from St Barnabas, Linslade, who between them have 188 years of choral experience!

Bill Marshall joined the choir at the beginning of 1940 and John Vickers on the first Sunday after World War Two broke out. Both men also served on the PCC and Bill in his younger days was a bellringer. John is also editor of the Church magazine.

Ted Connew has been singing in the choir since 1946.
