This organ was built in the 19th Century, and was restored and modernised in 1930 by Roger Yates when moved to Wysall Methodist Church in Nottinghamshire, including the addition of a pedalboard and Pedal Bourdon 16.

Our plans are to restore this organ to a Chamber Organ, with removal of the pedal, and an extension down to GG.  In addition a divided stop will be added, Sesquialtera/Cornet.

The full specification of this instrument is as follows:

The case will be new, based on a 1779 John Avery case recently restored by our colleagues at Goetze & Gwynne for Ponsonby Methodist Church, Auckland, New Zealand.  This case is illustrated right.

The new case will be of Mahogany, keyboards and drawstops will be of Rosewood.
