Lee Dunleavy studied music at Hertford College in the University of Oxford where he was Organ Scholar and subsequently Organist, and received his degrees. After working as Director of Music at Christ Church Southgate, London, and as Conductor of the Enfield Choral Society, he was awarded the prestigious Organ Scholarship at York Minster. 
St. Matthew’s Church, Northampton, is a Victorian Church built in French 13th century gothic style. It was consecrated on St. Matthew’s day in 1893 and the first vicar was John Rowden Hussey. He remained vicar until 1937 when his son Walter Hussey was invited to succeed him. Walter Hussey was driven by the desire to build a bridge between the Church and modern artists through adventurous commissions.
