Statement of Significance

A two-manual organ built in 1864 by J W Walker, of London (Job No 744), originally of 15 speaking stops, enlarged in 1892 by Fincham & Hobday, and rebuilt in 1957 by George Fincham & Sons at which time the action was electrified and a detached console introduced. The instrument retains its original case, diapered facade, pipework and tonal scheme and is a substantial early example of the firm's work, comparable with the larger instrument by the same builder at St Stephen's, Richmond built shortly afterwards.
