Dennis William Townhill OBE (29 May 1925 – 18 July 2008) was an English organist and composer. Born in Lincoln, he was educated at Lincoln School and studied under Dr Gordon Archbold Slater at Lincoln Cathedral. Townhill composed a set of responses for use at Anglican evensong. In 1970, Townhill became the driving force of a plan not only to safeguard the future of the Choir School of St Mary’s Cathedral, Edinburgh but to transform it into a new and vibrant entity.〔(Obituary (Times) of Dr Denis Townhill ) retrieved 2009-11-02 〕 In 1972, the school was expanded into a specialist music school on the lines of the Yehudi Menuhin School, with Lord Menuhin becoming patron and referring to it as "my younger sister-school in Scotland".〔(Obituary (Scotsman) of Dr Denis Townhill ) retrieved 2009-11-03 〕 He was organist and choir master at: *St Paul's Church, Burton on Trent. 1942–1943〔Who's Who in Music.
