Church organ in St Peter & St Paul's church, Preston Capes.

Cases
This unenclosed village organ has migrated westwards from
the chancel to the NW corner of the church, half hidden by
an arch. Why not under the tower arch ? A much better place
where the organ's pleasant but undistinguished tone would
speak down the nave.

The organ, built by Nicholsons of Worcester, was given in memory of Sir Valentine Knightley and was electrified and moved from the chancel to its present position in 1974.
