Nigel Parkin, 56, of North Street, Wiveliscombe, is accused of eight charges of rape, five of indecent assault and four of sexual assault.

The offences are alleged to have been committed against the girls on dates between August 1998 and October 2009.

Mr Parkin, who was an organist at St Andrews’ Church, denies the charges.
