Search the NPOR using address keywords
© The British Institute of Organ Studies2005 (BIOS)
This form enables you to search for a building using one or more keywords from the address separated by spaces. Keywords should be significant, that is they should not contain "noise" words like "St." or "and". This can be particularly useful when you do not know which of the address fields to use. For instance, St. Margaret, Lothbury can be found by typing "Margaret Lothbury London" or just "Margaret Lothbury". It is usually unnecessary to use a county as part of a set of keywords and, since counties have changed a lot over the last hundred years, it is often not helpful. However, an explanation of the county names used by the NPOR is available.
In order not to generate long transfers and to discourage large scale copying of the database, the number of buildings returned from a search will be restricted to twelve hundred. Use more keywords or make your keywords more specific to select fewer buildings.
If you cannot find what you want, it is possible to perform a neighbourhood search for organs within a given distance from a place. Facsimile records of the responses to the Methodist Church survey in 1997 are available.
