They show that during the first half of the 16th century, the parish was both wealthy and musically advanced, with the church engaging a number of musicians in this period who later became significant figures, including the composer Thomas Tallis (c.1505-1585). This article provides a brief examination of the church's choir school which was developed by the conductor, organist and master of the choir boys, John Northfolke during the 1520s. | ||
