Database Manager on November 01, 2015:

Updated through online information from William Dunklin. -- The Hutchings organ had been installed at the front right, necessitating the removal of one bay of the 'U' shaped gallery. In the Hook and Hastings rebuild, the organ was moved to the rear gallery and divided left and right and the gallery was restored at the front. See entry number 50282
