The 'Bevington' organ is now installed and we are exploring the exciting possibilities afforded by having an organ at the east end of the church.

The organ was built some time during the 1880's at Bevington's factory in Soho. It has two manuals (keyboards), pedals and 10 stops. It was discovered in 1995 by Philip Wood, the Huddersfield organ builder, languishing in a disused chapel in Greaseborough, near Sheffield. When the organ at St. Asaph Cathedral was being rebuilt in 1996 - 1998, Philip and his son David rescued this organ and built it in the Cathedral as a temporary instrument. When the Cathedral organ was complete, it returned to the works in Huddersfield.
