Eastbourne library has added insult to injury over music scores it was donated by Elizabeth Muir-Lewis.

First it closed the music library at Eastbourne, which had been intended to house the unique scores belonging originally to her late husband, tenor Richard Lewis.

Now it is unable to locate the scores which Mrs Muir-Lewis believes have either been moved elsewhere or sold.

The scores are of considerable interest in the musical world because Mr Lewis was an accomplished tenor who performed all over the world.

It's probably too late for Mrs Muir-Lewis and other demonstrators to persuade East Sussex County Council, which faces money problems, to reinstate the music library.

However, the least it can do is have a proper look for the manuscripts so she knows the score.
