Address: 39 Wellington Park, Belfast.
Interview with Parishioner, Lily,who knew him as a child:
a pleasant memory
would notice you
he would come down to greet you especially
I kept him busy with questions
my husband often said 'As the Dr would say.'
chatted a lot with choir boys
he went every year to Copeland Island on holiday with them
Remembered listening to the Pilgrims Chorus.
During the time of 'Hell and Damnation' preaching in Belfast, St George's was full of singing and opera.
Tremendous freedom.
St George's was a centre of security - 'a reasonably sane sermon' and musical reputation.
