Notes

2021-10-29 - Vanneck United Church closed in July, 2021. Its 2-manual pipe organ was produced by Bert Keates in 1947 when the Keates Organ Co. was located in London, ON. Vanneck is a hamlet consisting of the church and three homes, one of which was the former manse, located a few kms northwest of London, ON. The organ was installed as a memorial to those members of the congregation who served and died in World Wars I and II. As of the time of reporting (Oct. 29, 2021), the organ is being offered free of charge. -Ian Mason
