Organ Statement of Significance: A two-manual organ of 13 stops built in 1878 by George Fincham and remaining virtually intact apart from the introduction of electric blowing, retaining its original mechanism, pitch and cone-tuned pipework. The instrument is of special significance for its impressive three-tower case containing spotted metal pipes and its generous tonal design which includes a Mixture and Cornopean stop on the swell division.
