Comments:
        Organ was originally a three manual in existing case.  Choir organ
        was removed c.1953.

        Swell Principal is attributed to Renatus Harris (1680-1724).

        Voicing style suggests that the organ may originally have been
        by Samuel Green although there is no proof for this statement.

        Originally a Trumpet and Sesquialtera existed on the Great
        but the pipework was discarded at some unknown time.
