"An organ was introduced into the church in 1837, and placed in the Gallery. The organ replaced an orchestra in leading the music.
In 1899 the present organ, by J. Porritt of Leicester, was purchased. In 1935, an electric blower was installed. A plaque on the organ reads: “The electric blower was installed in this organ in September 1935 on the initiative of Cecil Brown, Organist of this church 1907-1949.” "
