Description:This is the smaller and oldest of the churches two organs. The mahogany case and some of the pipes are from an organ built by John Geib Senior in 1789-1790. Until 1842, it was located in a gallery at the west end of the church. It was then moved to the north chancel aisle and was rebuilt in 1844 by John Banfield. where it stood until it was re-located and rebuilt near the font (which can just be discerned at the foot of the photograph) in 1974 by Hill, Norman & Beard. It hides the 13th century west door and partially obscures the west window by Alfred Gérente (1850).
