Organ

There are records of organ in the church dating from 1809 when an instrument was installed by George Pike England. There have been subsequent rebuildings and renovations over the years, resulting in a 3-manual and pedal pipe organ. A specification of the organ from towards the end of its life can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[2]
