The organ 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".
