Musical Requirements:

The organist's duties are to
• accompany the congregational singing of four hymns
• play a voluntary before and after each service
The ideal candidate would be a competent organist with some experience of playing at church services, but…
• pianists and keyboard players looking for a new challenge are also welcome to apply
• practical skills are more important than formal qualifications
• even if you could only play once a month, we would still like to hear from you

Other details:

We would consider increasing our standard fee of £50 per service for an organist whose skills and experience exceed our basic requirements.

The organ dates from 1840; it was built by William Hill & Son and has been classed Grade II* by the British Institute of Organ Studies, signifying a 'particularly important organ of more than special interest'. It is in good working order and is serviced annually by Wintle Organs.

St Mary's is a 15th-century Grade I listed church in the picturesque village of Ewelme (population 600) at the foot of the Chiltern Hills, two miles from the Thames at Benson.

We are a small and friendly congregation and would love to have our own organist again.
