One print is black and white, the other is printed left-to-right and in colour, annotated ‘1989’. The members of the choir are the same as in the next 3 images. -3 black and white prints of the same image, approximately 8” x 10”, showing the choir wearing cassocks and surplices standing in two rows in a chevron in the aisle between the choir stalls with Stephen Cleobury in the centre and the organ in the background. Two are annotated ‘1989’. -1 black and white print approximately 5” x 7”, being a head and shoulders portrait of Stephen Cleobury.

Technical equipment is visible in one photograph. -1 colour print, approximately 8” x 10”, showing the choir wearing red cassocks and surplices standing in two rows as if processing up the aisle between the choir stalls with Stephen Cleobury at the front and centre and the organ in the background. The Hacomblen lectern is between the rows. The photo was removed from its mat frame for preservation and the frame is stored separately. -1 colour print, approximately 10” x 12”, showing the choir wearing red cassocks and surplices standing in 2 rows along the south wall at the east end of the Chapel with Stephen Cleobury standing at left in front of the altar. The Rubens is visible. -1 colour print, signed [by members of the choir shown]. The photograph shows [the choir] 16 boys and 14 men wearing red cassocks and surplices standing on a wooden stage with an organ and organist in the background. The conductor, wearing academical dress, has his back to the photographer. The photograph appears to be taken from a balcony in a theatrical or musical performance venue. -Small Polaroid snapshot taken through the organ screen with the east window and part of the Rubens visible in the background. A man in an anorak is standing in the aisle looking up at the organ screen, a fabric sheet is partly visible hanging in the passage under the screen, and the north side of the choir stalls is visible with members of the choir at ease standing and sitting there in red cassocks without surplices. What appear to be IV drips with blood bags hanging from them are visible on the right. -1 Colour print, approximately 8” x 12” showing a large number of men and boys and a few women standing in front of a building, probably the King’s College School. Stephen Cleobury and Gerald Peacocke (headmaster) are in the centre. -2 colour snapshots of the organ’s east face, one showing the upper part of the screen passage (the door is open and the west wall is visible in the background) and parts of the ceiling and windows in several bays in the antechapel, and the other showing only the pipe decorations and top part of the screen below them.
