The organ is one of the finest in the area. The 2 manual instrument was built originally by Norman & Beard and installed in 1913 shortly after the Church was consecrated. In 1979, Manders revised the specification, creating a brighter sound. Cleaning and some revoicing took place in 2004.

The console is historically important, having a unique stop control system originally devised by the blind organist, Alfred Hollins.

Learn the Organ. We currently have 4 students who are learning to play the organ. We provide lessons, practice facilities, and the chance to play under supervision during the services. A vacancy for a further Organ Student now exists, as one of our original students is leaving for university.

The organ is currently in the care of F H Browne & Sons of Canterbury.
