Nigel Payne Plaque Unveiled at Trinity

August 25, 2024

On Sunday, August 25th, a plaque was unveiled above the Trinity organ in honour of Nigel Payne, who served as the church’s organist from 1982 to 2023. The service, led by Deacon Selina Nesbitt, included a lively atmosphere with a large baptism party.

Nigel, known for his love of music, expressed his appreciation for the plaque, joking that it’s typically reserved for those who have passed away. The service had the theme of music in worship and featured two of Nigel’s favourite hymns, “Lord, for the years” and one sung to the tune of “Londonderry Air.” Nigel’s musical talents extended beyond the organ, as he often played the piano before services, sharing a variety of classical, spiritual, and popular hymns, and always keeping people guessing.

Nigel joins two other retired Trinity organists’ with a plaque in the Trinity organ hall of fame: Robert West Langford (1897-1949) and Tony Garrard (1981-2009).
