The document further states that it was expanded and moved within the church in the latter half of the 19th century. -Database Manager
2020-10-24 - Updated through online information from John Basile. -- Hook relocated to new church in 1862, possibly by Giles Beach. In the 1870s, as part of the Episcopal Oxford movement, alcoves were created on either side of the chancel and the organ was relocated into the right alcove, I presume by Beach as he has signed wooden pipes shortly thereafter. The original case would have been abandoned at this time. Beach and his son signed pipes for several years thereafter. -Jim Stettner
