hill, norman and beard built the pipe organ in 1924, and it gradually expanded over the years. john christie owned a considerable share in the company. currently, the organ is a gutted shell, the pipes having been donated to various churches for the construction of new organs after world war ii. the organ originally contained 4 manuals and 46 stops, but this was eventually expanded to 106 stops, unusual for an english-built organ in having multiple diapason chorus ranks of pipes.
