Organ Statement of Significance
A single-manual organ of eight speaking stops believed to be the organ built in 1873 by George Fincham for the residence of Edward A'Beckett, Brighton. The instrument incorporates a polished blackwood case, in a classical style, with prominent cornice, containing spotted mental facade pipes. It retains its original manual key action and console fittings and the majority of its original pipework. It is a rare surviving example of a Fincham chamber organ of the period.
