Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams for the Coldharbour parish magazine

The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.

[22 October 1931]

I thought that the singing of the choir was very good, both in quality of tone and in the style of singing. This proves the excellence of Miss Ault’s training. In the organ recital which followed the service she proved herself to be, as we all know, a most efficient player and the pieces chosen were just right for a village church, simple and mostly of the very best.
