In Memoriam

Martin How MBE –Friend of Trinity

Martin was often referred to as the best cathedral organist this country never had. Martin started the Chorister Training Scheme in 1965, around the same time as he started supporting the Trinity Boys Choir. Students remember him as being incredibly encouraging with a great sense of humour.

He worked for the Royal School of Church Music at Addington Palace, where he was choirmaster and later their Southern Commissioner. He was to remain with the RSCM in one capacity or another until his retirement in 1993. In recent years, he has spent many days each week at Croydon Minster, either practising the organ or playing for services there.
