tvApr 11, 20261049

The 19th century organ at St Mary the Virgin in Hanbury, used in BBC radio drama The Archers, needs about £100,000 in urgent repairs. Parishioners say the instrument will fall silent without urgent funding. The organ is a key piece of local heritage and helps provide The Archers with its authentic church sound, so its loss would affect worship and the programme. The church now faces a community fundraising campaign to cover the full restoration bill.
