A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Limpus, Richard

LIMPUS, Richard, organist, born Sept. 10, 1824, was a pupil of the Royal Academy of Music, and organist successively of Brentford; of St. Andrew's, Undershaft; and St. Michael's, Cornhill. He composed a good deal of minor music, but his claim to remembrance is as founder of the College of Organists, which owing to his zeal and devotion was established in 1864. He was secretary to the College till his death, March 15, 1875. [See Organists, College of.]
