The church was built in 1859. In 1865, a two manual organ by Conacher & Co. was installed. Thirty years later, in 1895, the Conacher was replaced by a new, three manual, Alexander Young & Sons instrument.
The Swell Octave and Tremulant were added in 1909, their drawstops being placed above the Swell keyboard.
The Conacher was relocated in 1910 to the Derby Parish Church of St Paul, Chester Green (Historic Organs in Derbyshire, Rodney Tomkins, 1998).
In 1947, the Pedal Organ, originally tracker, was converted to pneumatic action. Rushworth & Dreaper are likely to have done the job – deduced from the job number ‘1787’ stamped on the touch-box.
The wind tell-tale pulley is still in place on the console and the walls of one corner of the chamber are covered with the names and remarks of generations of hand blowers. The blowing handle and feeders are no longer there.
