Notes

2017-04-25 - This was a rebuild and new console for 1925 Moller Op. 4129. -Database Manager

2017-10-20 - Updated by Steven Bartley, the builder. <br>Original Moller EP pitman action replaced with Direct Electric magnets <br>In the 1990s the Lewis & Hitchcock firm was hired to carry out a renovation of the mechanism and then alter/enhance the specification. Only the mechanical portion was carried out. The organ was built for this church, when the mid 19th century building was much smaller. In the 1950s a large nave was added, and the original building became the transepts. Moller was contracted to rebuild the organ and moved it to the new gallery. <br>As part of the Moller work only the exposed open Diapason was replaced with a new one. <br>The Lewis & Hitchcock design was to insert a 4 Principal, reed, and quint. After phase I was completed a change took place where the choir was moved to the floor of one transept, yet the organ & console remain in the gallery. Dissatisfaction arose with the pipe organ as choir, now some distance from the organ, experienced a delay in the sound of the organ and the organ/organ builder were blamed for this natural occurrence. -Database Manager
