Church Organ, currently under construction in St Nonna's church, Altarnun.

I had the good fortune to speak with the craftsman installing it (who has promised to send me pictures of the process and final result) and was informed that this organ used to be in the Vogebeloth Wesleyan Chapel, Illogan. The details of which are listed below.

Installation due to be completed Spring 2017.
