Comments

The first organ in this church dates back to 1861. The present instrument is the third organ to be constructed there. It is basically a rebuild of the 1926 two manual and pedal tracker organ by William Hill & Son / Norman & Beard. A third division was added and the action converted to electro-pneumatic. In 1987 the action was electrified. The old combination controls are still visible on either side of the console. The church also owns a rebuilt Walker & Taylor II/P organ in the chapel.
