JASON Walker, one of the support organists at St Mary the Virgin Church, Burghill, has successfully completed an amazing musical marathon by playing 766 hymns in the Complete Anglican Hymn Book.
Starting at 8am on October 27 he played every verse of each hymn reaching the last hymn after 31 hours of continuous playing.
A huge thank you to all the handbell and tower bell ringers, church choir members and villagers who supported Jason, both night and day and to all those many people who dropped into the church to listen to him play.
As a result of this inspiring event he has already raised over £2,000 towards the church Repair and Restoration Fund.
