 History of Clacton Choral Society   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The first recorded details of a formal Clacton Choral Society concert date from 1901 when Frederick Lewellen, with Harry Baynton and his family in charge of the orchestral side of things, performed Elijah and Messiah at the Old Town Hall, then on the corner of Station Road and High Street, to huge acclaim.
With the retirement of R W. Lewellen in the twenties, there followed a time of great choral activity in Clacton with some intense and often bitter rivalry between the various churches who were centres of choral singing in the town, each forming its own society.
This conflict, which resulted in the stretching of resources and diminution of audiences, was finally and amicably resolved in 1930 when everybody got together and amalgamated their efforts to form the organisation as it exists today.
