Cornish organist has been playing for 85 years at one church

An organist from Cornwall has been playing at the same chapel for more than 85 years.

Joycelyn Hocking first started playing the organ at the Methodist chapel in St Neot in 1938 when she was seven.

Janina Waterman, the church steward, said Mrs Hocking had since performed at more than 50 local chapels, churches and other venues.

She said she was working to have her submitted to the Guinness World Records as the world’s longest-serving organist.
