A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Hewe, John

by Victor de Pontigny

HEWE, John, in 1485, received 13s. 9d. for repairing the organ at the altar of the Virgin in York Minster, and for carrying it to the House of the Minorite Brethren and bringing it back to the cathedral. This is probably the earliest instance to be found, though afterwards common, of one church lending another its organ.
