A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Bridge, Richard

BRIDGE, Richard, enjoyed some celebrity as an organ-builder, but little is known of his biography. He is supposed to have been trained in the factory of the younger Harris and to have been living in Hand Court, Holborn, in 1748. He died before 1776. His best instrument was that for Christ Church, Spitalfields, London, 1730. [See also vol. ii. p. 597, and Byfield, Jordan & Bridge, in Appendix.]
