The 1887 organ was built by Alfred Kirkland of London, restored and enlarged in 1924 and thoroughly repaired in 1937. It took the place of a chamber organ which had been preceded by a harmonium and that by a barrel organ with two barrels and ten tunes each, which was installed in 1857 when the Singers Gallery, across the west end of the church in which there were a “bass-viol, clarionet etc. for the band”, was removed.
This organ was destroyed by enemy action in August 1944.
In or after 1957 there was also a harmonium in the North chapel.
