From ST. MARGARET'S, WESTMINSTER
DR. STANLEY MARCHANT, Follow of the Royal Academy of Music, where he is also a Professor, Follow of the Royal College of Organists, and Doctor of Music of Oxford University, is a Londoner by birth and training. He studied at the Academy, where ho was Goss scholar, and at the ago of only sixteen had his first appointment as a Church organist, at St. Mary's, Kensington. Four years later he went to Christ Church, Newgate Street, in tho City, and in 1913 returned to tho West End as organist of St. Peter's, Eaton Square. In 1916, when the late Charles Macpherson succeeded Sir George Martin at St. Paul's Cathedral, Dr. Marchant was appointed sub-organist; on Macpherson's death, in 1927, he was promoted to the place which of itself stamps a musician as one of the loaders in the organ world, one which ho tills with all the distinction which its long tradition demands.
