Statement of Significance

Organ Citation
A three-manual organ of 31 speaking stops (originally 27) built in 1892 by Fincham & Hobday, with the addition of the Great Posaune c. 1921. Although the original tubular-pneumatic action was electrified and a new console provided in 1955, the instrument retains its original tonal scheme and pipework, and attractive three-tower Kauri case with carved blackwood corbels. The facade pipes retain their original diapering.
