Organ - A two-manual organ of 20 stops built in 1893 by Fincham & Hobday and remaining largely unaltered apart from the addition of a Mixture stop in the 1980s. The instrument is notable for its generous tonal scheme, the excellence of its voicing and its splendid case containing pipes diapered in a striking manner.
