Notes
2025-01-13 - This entry represents the installation of a new organ. Identified through online information from Andrew Henderson (January 13, 2025). -Jim Stettner
2025-01-14 - The organ was removed in the mid 1960's and replaced with a Keates. The Keates facade looks as though it might have been pipework retained from the Lyon & Healy. -Jim Stettner
