Henry East Havergal

Henry East Havergal (22 July 1820 – 12 January 1875) was a priest in the Church of England and an organist.

His sister, Frances Ridley Havergal (1836–1879), became well known as a writer of religious poetry.

Also in 1847, he married, on 16 September, Frances Mary, eldest daughter of George J.

On this instrument, he carried out many experiments, and regularly acted as organist.

He possessed a natural alto voice, and in a trial of William Crotch's oratorio Palestine he played the double-bass and sang the alto part in the choruses at the same time.
