Description:The organ in St Luke's Mission Church, Handsacre, associated with the parish church in Armitage. Situated in Hall Road, Handsacre, it is now a private residence named Old Church Hall. It was referenced in the first issue of the Armitage Parish Magazine dated January 1892 and was in use for over 100 years.

This picture is from an album of photographs taken by Thomas Harvey Boycott (1876-1949) who lived with his widowed mother, Fanny Maria, whose family had lived at Handsacre Hall as farmers, together with his unmarried aunt, Sarah Elizabeth Harvey. Harvey was a Clerk at Lichfield District Probate Court and a skilled amateur photographer. The album was a parting gift from Harvey and his mother to the Rev. R.E. Grice-Hutchinson (1885-1976) who was Curate of Armitage with Pipe Ridware 1909-1913.
