ORGAN
The present organ is a large, three manual Mander instrument,
the sound of which is enhanced by a superb acoustic. It was installed
in
1958, replacing a George Pike England instrument which was destroyed by
fire in 1955. Much of the pipework is over 100 years old, coming
from a redundant Lewis organ at All Saints', Ennismore Gardens,
Kensington.
