2010-06-10 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- 56 ranks located in the gallery and 23 ranks in the chancel. -Database Manager
2019-02-02 - Updated by Andrew Clark, who maintains the organ. <br> <br>Portions of this instrument are playable, but the majority of it is unplayable. Overall, the organ is in desperate need of releathering, repair and restoration. The cost to do so is too prohibitive for the church at this time. -Database Manager
2023-04-28 - The original organ in this church was by Farrand and Votey and dated to 1891. It is said that the present chancel divisions are, in fact, the almost unaltered Farrand & Votey organ. -William Worden
