The elegant mahogany case and façade pipes are the sole remaining parts of the organ, built in around 1745 for the church and supplied by Thomas Griffin. Since Griffin was not an organ builder but acted as an intermediary, the actual builder of the Deptford organ is unknown.
The style of the casework is typical of some other London organs of its period, and its original specification also closely follows organs of the Bridge, Byfield, and Jordan school. This is believed to have been:| Great Organ | Choir Organ | Swell Organ | ||
