A fire which originated in the belfry destroyed the interior of the church on 20 November 1922 [5] and it was restored by Giles Gilbert Scott.
The church obtained a pipe organ in 1828 by Elliot and Hill. In 1869 this was rebuilt by Hill but was destroyed in the fire of 1922. In 1929 a new organ was installed by G.H.C. Foskett. The organ currently comprises 3 manuals and pedals with 45 speaking stops. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. [17]
