Increasingly adults, from teenagers to great grandparents, are making their own decision to join the Church. For some people this comes as a sudden conversion. More usually, it’s a curiosity which grows into a gradual awareness of God’s presence. Baptism is a way of expressing this belonging to the church community. For every baptism, the church community promises to welcome an individual into the church and to pray for them. https://www.stgilescamberwell.org/bellringing daily 0.75 2026-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffc64124df2af596c06e693/1610376243544-YZ3T7LCV9K51JKZ4UWQK/ORGAN Bellringing - THE ORGAN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffc64124df2af596c06e693/1610376243548-5HDQO2LM15GKCZG17Q6L/Chisara Bellringing - MUSIC AT ST GILES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffc64124df2af596c06e693/1610376243551-6E8SKASZSI018SNR2IFH/Jazz%2Bcrypt.jpg Bellringing - JAZZLIVE IN THE CRYPT https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffc64124df2af596c06e693/1610376243554-2R5OGK1MD9AOIICEMBXE/Camberwell%2BCommunity%2BChoir.jpg Bellringing - CAMBERWELL COMMUNITY CHOIR https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffc64124df2af596c06e693/1610376243557-9AB1WC8ZCZDHVZ91I1DE/Camberwell+Choir+School Bellringing - CAMBERWELL CHOIR SCHOOL https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffc64124df2af596c06e693/1610376243560-CC0IPZQED9QRPU7KQ7YP/web_PBTT5328.jpg Bellringing - BELLRINGING https://www.stgilescamberwell.org/organ daily 0.75 2021-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffc64124df2af596c06e693/1610480753189-99SSYW3JLWLF04S27PTY/Organ+Stops.jpg Organ - Who designed the organ? Samuel Sebastian Wesley was the grandson of Charles Wesley, the famous hymn writer and co-founder of the Methodist Church. Born in 1810 Samuel himself is considered one of the most important church musicians of the 19th Century. It is said that his fingers and feet moved so swiftly as he played the organ that people would crowd round him just to watch. Before Wesley embarked on his career as a cathedral organist and composer, he was appointed organist of St Giles’ on the 8th of January, 1829. He stayed at Camberwell for nearly four years and by all accounts he was very happy here. When the old medieval church of St Giles’ was destroyed by fire, he returned to design the organ in the new church. The organ Wesley designed has three manuals (keyboards) and pedals and has forty-two speaking stops. Many of the stops Wesley included are duplicated to achieve different tonal combinations. These additions don’t necessarily make the organ louder but when used with understanding, the organ can produce amazingly rich and warm sonorities. Built before the Great Exhibition of 1851, the organ is perhaps the sole survivor of a long tradition of English organ building – its lineage can be traced back hundreds of years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffc64124df2af596c06e693/1610480877734-5R8W67VQYD3VAL37Z4PX/TOM_0198.jpg Organ - J.C. Bishop & Sons The organ was built by J.C. Bishop & Sons in 1844, the same year the church was rebuilt. J.C. Bishop & Sons, still exist and have looked after and kept the organ going since the beginning, and were responsible for the partial restoration in 1961. Dr Maurice Merrell, the current principal of Bishop & Sons, was responsible for the restoration in 1961 and is still responsible for servicing and looking after the organ today. Now in his 90’s he can often be found scrambling in and around the organ loft tuning pipes and repairing stops. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffc64124df2af596c06e693/1610376243544-YZ3T7LCV9K51JKZ4UWQK/ORGAN Organ - THE ORGAN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffc64124df2af596c06e693/1610376243548-5HDQO2LM15GKCZG17Q6L/Chisara Organ - MUSIC AT ST GILES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffc64124df2af596c06e693/1610376243551-6E8SKASZSI018SNR2IFH/Jazz%2Bcrypt.jpg Organ - JAZZLIVE IN THE CRYPT https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffc64124df2af596c06e693/1610376243554-2R5OGK1MD9AOIICEMBXE/Camberwell%2BCommunity%2BChoir.jpg Organ - CAMBERWELL COMMUNITY CHOIR https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffc64124df2af596c06e693/1610376243557-9AB1WC8ZCZDHVZ91I1DE/Camberwell+Choir+School Organ - CAMBERWELL CHOIR SCHOOL https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffc64124df2af596c06e693/1610376243560-CC0IPZQED9QRPU7KQ7YP/web_PBTT5328.jpg Organ - BELLRINGING https://www.stgilescamberwell.org/hiring-venues daily 0.75 2025-03-18 https://www.stgilescamberwell.org/home-1 daily 0.75 2021-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffc64124df2af596c06e693/1610376247772-7OIMDJ63S0W8L2ZHFA45/St+Giles+Parish+Church_14.jpg Home (Copy) - CHURCH SERVICES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffc64124df2af596c06e693/1610376247760-FRAW3XUP19930I2O1QMC/St+Giles+Parish+Church_11.jpg Home (Copy) - MUSIC AT ST.
