Boxorgan.jpg

Trinity College of Music, Greenwich

The case is based on the 1790 Samuel Green organ which was built for Earl of Scarborough at Sandbeck Hall, Yorkshire. This organ was presented to Her Majesty the Queen by its owner in 1963 to replace the war-damaged organ in the Queen's Private Chapel at Buckingham Palace. It is now installed in the chapel at Kensington Palace. The casework of the new organ is made of solid maple and was decorated by John Brennan to match the paneling of the Peacock Room at Trinity College.

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:
