Small flute, also known as an Irish whistle, belonging to and used by the Reverend Dr Oliver Soper, Baron Soper of Kingsway (1903-1998). The flute is in its original case made of coromandel ebony.
Lord Soper dedicated his preaching career, which lasted for more than half a century, to controversial causes, including the fight against drink and gambling, slave labour, racial inequality, homelessness, capital punishment and, fundamentally, capitalism.
