-- information from dedication program
Database Manager on September 25th, 2017:
Updated by Ken Houser, who gave this as the source of the information: Worked for the parish.
This organ existed through the late 1980s. At some point a restoration was undertaken, possibly following the tower collapse in 1992. Unfortunately, the organ was removed for that restoration and never came back. It was replaced by a two manual electronic organ. The original case work remains only as a screen. Organ chamber is completely gutted and turned into storage space.
Database Manager on January 10th, 2016:
A new installation, identified through information in an article on Standbridge by Eugene M. McCracken in The Tracker, Volume 3 Number 4. No further information has been reported to the database, and the author does not identify the source of his information.
