Organ

The first organ dating from around 1754 was installed second hand from the old chapel of St John. It was sold to St Luke's Church, Heage when a new organ was provided by William Holt of Bradford at a cost of 300 guineas (equivalent to £39,000in 2023), [4] and was opened on 22 December 1853. [5] [6] This was rebuilt in 1873 by Radcliffe & Sagar of Woodhouse Lane in Leeds [7] enlarging it to become an instrument of 3-manual & pedals. In 1902 J.H. Adkins of Derby overhauled the organ and made some tonal changes. In 1978/9 some further work was done by Edmund Stow. A specification of the current organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. [8]

Bells
