In 1987, we sang all 542 hymns in the New English Hymnal – it took over 30 hours, right through the night and was reported in The Times (see cutting above) and on the front page of The Independent.
We did it again in 2012 and 2017 to raise funds for our new Organ.
Enjoy the two Hymnathon films by Kelvin Murray (in fond memory of those we have lost – and warm recognition of those who have grown!):
– St Michael & All Angels Hymnathon from 2012 (including the news report on Classic FM) and
– Hymnathon 2017
Enjoy the 2025 video of Hymnathon 150 – the Grand Finale by Torin Douglas
Enjoy the blogs from our 2012 Hymnathon by the late Richard Broke and Scott Gronmark (link to follow).
