An organ was built by Norman and Beard (1908) which came from St James' church, Great Yarmouth. It is housed in an early 10th century musician's gallery.
"Norman and Beard were a pipe organ manufacturer based in Norwich from 1887 to 1916.
The origins of the company are from a business founded in Diss in 1870 by Ernest William Norman (1851 - 1927). In 1876 he moved to Norwich where he went into partnership with his brother, Herbert John Norman (1861 - 1936). In 1887 they went into partnership with George A. Wales Beard, and the company was formed. In 1896 the company opened a second office in London.
They worked closely with Robert Hope-Jones and held the patents on many of his developments, including electro-pneumatic action.
The company merged with William Hill & Sons of London in 1916, and became William Hill & Son & Norman & Beard Ltd.."
