Notes

2008-03-18 - Identified through information adapted from E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn: Relocation to new sanctuary of Aeolian-Skinner Opus 1101 (1946) following a fire; overhauled, console rebuilt, tonal alterations and additions. -Database Manager

2016-04-26 - Relocated to the gallery of the new (present) sanctuary in 1969; an arson fire destroyed an adjacent large classroom building in 1989, causing extensive smoke and soot damage to the nave; the organ was then extensively refurbished by Lewis & Hitchcock, the organ was enlarged from 26 to 33 ranks and the console updated. -Database Manager
