[1/1] B4706 Pipe Organ

Statement of Significance

This organ is an example of English organ-building circa 1850-1860.
Its early history is unknown but thought to be of English origin. Apart from additions made in 1931 by C W Andrewartha it remains in substantially original form. The pipework, being made up of secondhand odd lots, is older than the organ.
Owing to the poor condition of the organ it is very difficult to assess if its sound is original.
The attractive organ case is marred by deterioration and the finish is not original.
