| Information on current organ |
The original hand blowing still survives. The instrument is typical of Fuller's smaller
instruments where the longest pipes are placed in towers at floor level on
either side of the console, together with the absence of an internal passage
board between the two manual chests. This is one of the final
instruments Albert Fuller constructed before the closure of his business in 1900. |
