The organ at St. Mary’s is an extremely fine classical instrument. When the original instrument was destroyed by fire in 1969, a replacement was built by Grant, Degens and Bradbeer Ltd. of Northampton, who have also built instruments for New College, Oxford and the University of York. It is a tracker-action organ with a light, clear sound, comprising three manuals and thirty-two speaking stops. | |
