"The organ was installed in November 2009. It was built to the designs of Paul Hale and Alec Wells by Henry Groves and Son of Chilwell, Nottingham.
The new organ has been built by Jonathan Wallace's team at Henry Groves & Son (Organbuilders), a company founded in Nottingham in 1957. Taking up little more floor space than the previous 5-stop, 1-manual, 210-pipe Bevington, by clever layout design and a limited use of ‘extension’ whereby some ranks of pipes are used at different pitches to create more stops, this new organ comprises 28 speaking stops and no fewer than 1,049 pipes, of which one rank (F) is arranged to speak down the south aisle, thus creating a Nave chorus to boost the volume of tone as heard in the chancel. Many pipes are new; some are vintage. Here is the specification:
