Title
A Selection of Hand Tools Once Belonging to Roy Foster
Description
Hand tools used by Roy Foster (1931 - 2017) to build a three-manual pipe organ for Holy Rood Catholic Church in Oxford.
Between 2002 and 2012 Roy Foster with fellow organ-builder Derrick Carrington built a new three-manual pipe organ for Holy Rood Catholic Church in Oxford. In order to find the correct parts, they recycled parts from 22 redundant organs across the country. Roy and Derrick built the organ voluntarily in their spare time.
