NOTES
This is an “Artiste” model. It is housed in a free-standing case in the rear gallery on
the left side and forward, and the console on the right at the gallery rail. The console
is positioned so that the organist faces across the gallery with the altar to their left.

There is evidence which suggests that the case was once located elsewhere, perhaps at the
center of the rear gallery and up against the wall.
