A handsomely built organ by Henry Willis that was commissioned originally for Lanhydrock House, now located fundamentally intact and in original condition in St. Cubert's Church.

"a superb organ made by 'Father' Willia, the famous Victorian organ maker. Many Willis organs grace British cathedrals, so to find one in a small country church is rare. This organ was commissioned by Viscount Clifton for the music room at his family home of Lanhydrock, near Bodmin. From there it was moved to the tiny parish church beside Lanhydrock House, but it took up so much space there that they were happy to sell it to St Cubert's Church."
