Frederick (Feddy) Worrall

Frederick (Feddy) Worrall, born in 1777, was an early St. David’s parishioner and musician. He is buried with his wife, Sarah. Feddy Worrall is said to have played the clarinet for services prior to the use of a bass viol or the melodeon. Around 1870 a small “second hand” pipe organ was installed. Worrall’s clarinet, gifted to St. David’s by Mrs. Ashton Locke Worrall, is preserved in the St. David’s Archival Library. The clarinet was stolen from the Vestry Room of the Church in 2003 and later found by Groundskeeper, Pedro Muniz.
