The Church Choral Society was founded in 1872 by The Rev'd. Henry George Bonavia Hunt and played a major role in the musical side of the Oxford Movement.
He was a Fellow and Governor of St. Michael's College, Tenbury, Chairman of the Church Music Society and Chairman of the School of English Church Music.
In 1872 Hunt founded an organisation that was at first known as the Church Choral Society and it had as its object the promotion of higher standards of church music, within the background of the Oxford Movement and it should be remembered that the standard of Church Music had been quite terrible in England for much of the 19th Century.
