The organ

History of the organ

The organ at St Mary Magdalene was supplied by Thomas S. Jones & Son of 51, Hanley Road [Marlborough Works], Finsbury Park, London. The firm of Thomas Sidwell Jones (1830-1899) was founded in 1854 and specialised in small organs for village churches and residences. The organ was built in 1914.  The case is undated. There 32 keys. 

It was rebuilt in 1970 by W. and A. Boggis, when it was moved from the south side of the chancel. At the time, a "Fifteenth [was] added in place of Dulciana and [the] bottom octave grooved to Stop Diap". It was surveyed by the national Pipe organ Register in 2001, when it was found to be in "good condition".

The photographs on this page show the new organ as it looked in 1914, installed in the south aisle, and the organ (in its present location) in 2024.
