THE ORGAN was built by Wordsworth of Leeds, the organ was given by Ernest and Aline Wythes to commemorate their wedding in 1892. It was completed in 1894-5 and the first organ recital was given on it in the summer of 1895.  With the completion of the North aisle some years later, the organ casing at the east end of the aisle was added.

The organ case was designed by the eminent Victorian craftsman, C E Kempe, the designer of three of our windows.  Originally, the casing in the Choir was some 6 feet taller and the was painted scarlet.  It was felt that this was too dominant and the present dark green scheme was then conceived.

The figure at the top of the organ case is King David, with his harp.  On the casing in the Chapel of Transfiguration (to the left of the High Altar) is a representation of St Cecilia, the patron saint of music.

The organ was completely restored by Brian Bunting of Epping in 1976. It is considered by musicians to be amongst the finest in the county. It has four manuals (i.e. keyboards) and forty speaking stops: see the listing on the National Pipe Organ Register and specifications.  Some 30 years on it is now time for cleaning and remedial work and that work was carried out during the summer of 2009.
