2025-06-04 - According to a plaque in the church, the organ was acquired the year the church was built, ca. 1833-34 by a parishioner, Robert Rogerson. The organ was purchased from the Handel & Haydn Society, Boston. The organ was built by William Goodrich in 1817 for H&H and sold through the music dealer MacKay & Co., with whom Goodrich built organs in partnership between 1815-1820. The plaque was installed in 1926 by Rogerson's two surviving grandchildren, the same year the church purchased a 3m Hook & Hastings. In modern times, all that remained of the Goodrich were the case (recently given to the Historical Society and in storage) and a double-rise reservoir, still located in the church gallery in 2025. The double-rise reservoir was in use in small chamber organs at the end of the eighteenth century, but the date of its introduction into larger church organs in the early nineteenth century is open to question as to where and when. 1817 is an early confirmation of this construction in city organs, while wedge reservoirs remained in use in the hinterlands by regional builders well into the 1840s. -Scot Huntington
