Comments:
Organ originally owned by Lady Arthur Hill of Hillsborough and
was presented to the church in 1923.
Electric blowing was added in the 1970 rebuild as were tuning slides
as pipes were at the stage of being unable to cope with any more
cone tuning.
New Sesquialtera was made by Mander and based upon original
breaks as the old Sesquialtera had been replaced sometime
during the instruments history (by someone unknown) with a
Snetzler chimney flute.
Original Trumpet was lost.
The organ is located in the choir area at the front of the church.
