Nearby Whitchurch boasts a rich musical history, with composer Sir Edward German, a contemporary of Sir Edward Elgar, holding a prominent place.
Recently, a fascinating connection between German and Shakespeare came to light, as it was pointed out to us by local musician James Kellas that German composed incidental music for various Shakespeare plays, including As You Like It.
