Cook Organ Statement of Significance: A two-manual organ of 11 speaking stops built about 1905 by the Victorian organbuilder E Cornwall Cook and restored in 1906 by George Fincham & Son. It is the only example of Cook's work to survive intact. The instrument, which is sited in the apse and the focal point of the interior, retains its original tonal scheme, double-tower case with painted facade pipes, and extended tracker action console.
