Notes

2009-02-26 - Identified through on-line information from Eugene Walter. -- Rebuilt of existing Zimmer. Former case was functional, but extremely plain with all Great pipework on display. The new free-standing case (still located to right of chancel) ca. 2005 incorporates a display facade from 8' Principal rank, but is mostly enclosed and is designed so as to blend with the 1708 building. Great pipework not under expression. Swell pipework behind Great and under expression. -Database Manager
