Charles William Perkins (4 October 1855 - 2 August 1927) was Birmingham City Organist from 1888 to 1923.[1]

Life

He was born in 1855 the son of Robert A Perkins, jeweller, and Hannah.

He spent his early years in London where he was also a conductor of the Epsom Choral Society. In November 1887 he wrote from his home at 5 Redburn Street, Tedworth Square, London to apply for the post of organist at Sydney Town Hall but withdrew when he was appointed Birmingham City Organist early the next year.[2]

In 1894 Théodore Salomé dedicated the first of his Douze pièces nouvelles pour orgue, vol. 1, op. 59 to Perkins.

  • Ruth Lynette Perkins (1892 - 1970)
  • Cecil Howard Perkins (1896 - 1918)
  • Henry Trovell Perkins (1898 - 1966)

For the greater part of his life he lived at 2 Piers Road, Handsworth, Birmingham.

He died on 2 August 1927 in Bickley, Kent.[3]
