The church was built in 1890 and the organ is chambered, the handsome Gothic overhanging oak case facing into the chancel. Nearly all of the tin front pipes are speaking Open Diapason basses. The manual chests are placed quite high, at the level of the case pipe feet. The stop action is attached to the sliders at the bass ends, and thus the Great stop action passes under the horizontal Swell trackers and through the Swell stop action. The Swell is behind the Great and the Pedal Bourdon is at the rear. The Flute D’Amour is of stopped wood with 24 open metal trebles; the Bourdon Bass is unenclosed; the Swell Open Diapason has 12 stopped wood basses; the Salicional has 12 capped zinc basses; the Flute Harmonique is of metal, harmonic for two octaves above Middle C; the Stopped Diapason and Oboe each have 12 open metal trebles.
