Database Manager on September 18th, 2011:
Updated through online information from John Gardham. -- The organ was electrified in 1942 and action later updated in 1988. A 3 manual Casavant console operates the organ however the original Ryder chests and pipework are for the most part unchanged. It remains a 2 manual instrument with pedal.
Database Manager on December 4th, 2007:
Identified through online information from John G Phair. -- From the church website: Additions at time of installation here; EP chests from 1942; later additions and modifications.
