"The organ was installed in 2002 replacing a very basic Allen electronic instrument. It was generously given to Whitton by Melbourne Baptist Church (Nr Cambridge).
It was installed in Melbourne by Miller & Sons of Cambridge around the middle part of the 19th century and was a re-build of another instrument by an unknown builder.
The decorated and stencilled case, which was fully restored after installation at Whitton, would have been a very unusual feature in a non-conformist place of worship at that time. It is a very interesting small instrument making it ideal for its home at Whitton."
