The organ is one of the finest and most important instruments of its period. It was built by William Hill & Sons Ltd, and the first portion of the instrument was erected in the building in 1894. Following the completion of the east end, the full scheme was realised and the organ was placed in a specially designed chamber above the north side of the chancel in 1905. The spectacular organ cases were designed by Frank Loughborough Pearson (son of the church’s architect) and were installed in 1915. The organ is one of the largest church organs of its time and as an ‘untouched’ example of the Hill style, it has informed the restoration of several other historic Hill organs, including those of Peterborough and Lichfield Cathedrals, as well as that of Eton College.
