Organ: Austin organs

We are blessed with two pipe organs at the church,both are Austin organs. The chancel organ is circa 1939,a four rank instrument which was re-configured from the basement to the new upper church in the sanctuary. In 1955 the gallery organ was installed by Austin and is a wonderful instrument of about 30 ranks. The console is a three manual with a trumpet stop added to the swell organ while our former Dean Stephen Roberts was the organist at SS Peter & Paul. The organs are both used when cantors are leading song from the sanctuary.
