Norman and Beard built our three manual pipe instrument in 1904. Situated in a gallery on the south side of the chancel, it sounds as good today as when it was built. It has 23 speaking stops, including diapasons, flutes, oboe, clarinet, horn, and trumpet. There are also 9 couplers, 12 thumb pistons and 4 foot pistons. Our organ recitals really show off its versatility - and of course it does much to enhance the music at our services. Further details of the organ can be found here (index number N16116) Organ recitals are usually held once a month at 8pm. On these Sundays there is a Choral evensong at 6.30pm followed by refreshments at 7.20pm. Organ recitals cost £3, payable at the door.
