Actually, he was age 14 when he became a church organist.
Charles Edward Ives was an American modernist composer. Ironically, much of Ives's work would not be heard until his virtual retirement from music and business in 1930 due to severe health problems. In 1947, Ives was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his Symphony No. 3. Charlie specialized in the organ, and by age fourteen he had become the youngest salaried church organist in Connecticut.
He worked for the duke as an organist at age 19 then decided to quit and work for the church he attended.

His first few jobs (Arnstadt, Mühlhausen, Weimar) were as a church organist; he composed some for these, but playing was his main responsibility. In Cöthen and then in Leipzig, though a lot of his job was to write new music, he was also responsible for rehearsing the music and directing the performances. In Leipzig he had to teach music classes in the church school as well, and even taught Latin. Also, he taught private music lessons for much of his life. I don't know if he worked at any other trade or profession outside of these.

It depends upon what part of the country, the size of the church, the skill of the organist, whether a choir or singers are to be performing too. In some areas of the UK, you could probably still end up paying as little as £40, though for a professional organist at a large London church, fees would be more like £150. Quite a sum, though not in relation to the cost of flowers, the reception, etc!
