The Organ

The present three manual organ was rebuilt by Harrison and Harrison of Durham in 1911 using tubular–pneumatic action and is tuned to French pitch (A&thing=&thin 435 at 59F). It sits at the East End of the North Aisle.

The earliest recorded organ at Holy Trinity was that documented in 1552 in an inventory taken by a Royal Commission recording a ‘Paire of organs’. Some years later in 1818 the church paid £267 for an organ built by Hugh Russell from which some of the present organ’s pipework originates. In 1875 William Hill and Son rebuilt the organ (and possibly moved the organ to the Lady Chapel from the West end where it had been positioned by Russell).
