A fundraising campaign has been launched to help repair a 130-year-old organ at a local church.

St James the Great Church in Longdon is asking people to sponsor a pipe to help pay for a complete rebuild of the instrument after an inspection found issues.

A spokesperson said:

> “Routine work on the 130 year-old organ in our medieval village church has discovered an infestation of wood worm.  
>  
> “Treatment requires complete dismantling of the organ – that means all 654 pipes need to be removed, inspected, treated and replaced.”  
>  
> St James’ Church spokesperson

The appeal is asking people to consider contributing £20 for a large pipe, £10 for a middle-sized pipe or £5 for a small one.

> “St James’ Church and its organ is part of Longdon’s heritage so please help us to preserve it.”  
>  
> St James’ Church spokesperson
