Norman and Beard

Norman and Beard

Norman and Beard were a major pipe organ manufacturer originally based in Norfolk. They were founded in Diss in 1870 by E.W. Norman, but soon moved to Norwich to a building which still exists, and formerly had its own rail link. The company merged with Hills of London in 1916, moving its production to the capital in 1916.[1] Amongst others, it built the four manual organ in Norwich Cathedral (1899, rebuilds and upgrades in 1940–42, 1950 and 1969),[2] and the 5038 pipe instrument in Lichfield Cathedral (1899, rebuilds 1908 and 1974).
