The Organ

 There was no organ in 1832 and hymns were accompanied by various instruments played by musicians in the ringing balcony in the tower. By 1875 there was an inferior organ which was replaced by the present one in 1886, donated by Miss Bruxner, daughter of the Rector. It has 736 pipes and was built by Peter Conachie & Co of Huddersfield and played at a service for the first time at the Harvest Festival, 3rd October 1886.
