Albertus Bryne

He returned to St Paul's at the Restoration but was not granted a request to be made organist of the Chapel Royal, Whitehall.

He took up a post at Westminster Abbey after the Great Fire of London, and was succeeded by John Blow upon his death in 1668.

He was respected in his time as 'that famously velvet fingered Organist' (J. Batchiler, The Virgin’s Pattern, 1661) and 'an excellent musician (Wood).

His son, also called Albertus, worked with him at St Paul's Cathedral until January 1671, and was organist at Dulwich College from 1671 to 1677.
